If the 11 is the same as the 07 you can do it right in the fuse box with a little wire a relay and a fuse.

Also, your DRL's will still work with the HID's.

Not 100% sure...but....
As long as you count the turns of the screwdriver, you will be fine. Give it one full revolution while watching the garage/wall/whatever you are parked near. If it's going the wrong way, back it off and go the other way.

For two days I wanted to ask that question. I had my leveling kit installed and have not had a chance to adjust the headlights. I searched wayyy too much and put way more thought into it.... then this post and then the even easier answer... Thanks fellas. Laughing at myself once again.

Cheers
