HID Upgrades, Positioning, and "the law", Anyone had any issues with theirs? Options

Just out of curiosity I decided to look-up HID laws around Michigan. The universal response I found was how "dangerous" they are and for that they are illegal. I guess with anything about 5000K, or sunlight-white in color, is blinding to traffic and prevents the driver from "seeing properly." I also found quite a few people bickering about how after these lights are installed no one seems to properly align them.

Have any of you felt the need to align them, had any trouble after installing them (people flicking their brights, getting out from in-front, legal or otherwise), or actually did fix their alignment?

I must admit that I haven't really had any troubles since I installed mine *knocks on wood* (let's keep it that way). I absolutely love 'em and can't imagine driving without 'em (thanks Ms. Griff!). I can see the road just fine and visibility seems 100x better in snow and rain. No problems with blinding people, unless the brights are on which is understandable since it's like shining the sun at the road. I haven't thought to give them the good ol' garage door line-up check but I may do that soon (actually, if the rain dies down I might do it in the next hour or two).

In the UK the law states that HID's are only legal when you have self levelling light units. I've had mine for 2 years now, no problem. As long as they are correctly aligned I don't see a problem.
