i read the manual, but looking at it in real life, is the vertical aim adjusted by the white plastic screw, or do i need to get at the back of that adjuster?

White screw. There is nothing additional to adjust at the rear of the lights.
For the US market, there doesn't seem to be any horizontal adjustment whatsoever, the horizontal adjuster screw is replaced with a snap-in post that is blank, and doesn't seem to be easily removable. Is Canada the same? The vertical screw is exposed, faces upwards, and is towards the inside (center of the car) of the headlamp assembly with the hood open.

Where can I buy a controller for controlling a luminance output of HID kits cause I already aim the headlight low as posible and put a black vinyl eyelid on the top, I still get flash by other cars.

My headlights were way too high when I bought the car. During the day I parked near the garage and turned the white screw on top. I watched the light drop an inch or so. At night I parked on a flat side street and made the final adjustment. The lights are now where I liked them. I didn't have to adjust the side ways shine, just the height.

there are no controllers that can dim HID kit's for cars. Light going upwards is the bottom reflector, not the top, so the eyelids wouldn't help you. Does your bulb have a shield that blocks light from reflecting off the bottom reflector bowl?

My blulb has a shiled but its not enough.

Did you guys have to remove the headlight to get at the left side adjuster? I can't seem to get around the fusebox/intake.

Did you install low beam only or mechanical BI-xenon?

I installed the Bi-xenon’s and the shield blocks the bottom portion of the reflectors perfectly making some adjustments on my bulbs by stretching the spring that goes by the solenoid that way the bulb stays out more and the shield covers much better I also adjusted the height a little bit lower and it seems to be o.k. since no one complaints, and my headlights aren’t pointing to the floor either.
