Sorry to piss on your bonfire, but
1. they may say it on them but Bosch do not make any HID kits/ballasts - what you have is 23000v of Chinese cack
2. the quality of these kits is truly shocking - your wiring as case in point (yes I bought some and sold them instantly, incidentally only cost me

Some Chinese cack I bought for the Civic were really surprisingly nicely made.
Unfortunately, the H4-twin filament bulbs didn't fit, so they went back and a more elegant solution (proper twin-reflector headlights) was found.

I'm happy with the standard setup myself, but can't deny, it looks good and that's a good writeup 
However, to quote bosch:
Lighting: Brand Piracy - Fake HID Kits
[QUOTE]WARNING! There are some fake Bosch lighting HID kits in the
market - these are not a Bosch product and are likely to fail and
cause knock-on problems. Beware if you come across these
Xenon conversion kits

Great write up Ron, I was going to ask a question on here and it may be in the FAQ but as it seems relevant I would like to adjust my lights, I get the distinct impression that I am blinding all the poor people coming the other way towards me at night ... either that or they just like S2000's ... hmmm !
If your lights aren't adjusting it's either the sensor or the headlight motor.

Headlamps are auto adjusting. The sensor is on one of the rear suspension arms.

Thanks I will give it a go following the instructions GavB posted, and adjust if necessary, otherwise I will have to look at Neil's suggestions as the possible cause (assuming there is a alignment prob, the S's lights are really quite bright so it may just be that?)

I can't see why anyone does this.
The S2000 lights are perfectly adequate, have you thought about either cleaning the lenses or getting your eyes tested ??
As for oncoming drivers, I'd be flashing you to tell you that you are not driving a rally car, if you need lights that bright then refer to the comments above.

Lets face it, the more I can see, the better.
I'm pretty sure my Metichlorian rare is zero, and my family name isn't Skywalker so I have to rely on my eyes.
As such, I want the odds in my favour.
