You forgot to mention the model year and hopefully this will apply.

Anyhow the following is how to aim the headlights for the Mazda3. All you need is a small flat head screwdriver and a #3 phillips screwdriver. There are two adjustment wheels that are located on the back of the headlight housing protected by white plastic snap-on caps. If you look at the back of the headlight housing, from the fender towards the engine bay, the adjustment knob closest to you is the traverse (left & right) adjustment knob and the one farthest from you is the vertical (up & down) adjustment knob. Using the small flat screwdriver, pry the white snap-on caps off making sure not to drop them. If you just so happend to drop them, just remove the front corner plastic panel / liner under the vehicle and retreive the caps.

Now for how to turn the knobs...to adjust the headlights, position the phillips screwdriver to mate/mesh w/ the notches in the brass adjustment cup. The notched cup and the phillips screwdriver head basically forms an right-angle gear interface. To adjust the vertical, simply turn the the screwdriver clockwise to aim the beam DOWN; and turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise and to aim the beam UP. To adjust the traverse, clockwise for right and counter-clockwise for left. The following procedures are for both side adjustment. Good luck!

Convertion kit po ba yan? I do hope there is a way for HID placed in halogen designed reflectors of headlamps to work properly but those headlamps were designed for halogen. Hence sabog sabog and 100% sure other incoming cars are bothered, irritated and at worst blinded to accident. Best bet ko mag pa install ka ng projector type na HID.
