Default Adjusting the headlights............

I just bought new Sylvania Silverstars for $19.99 at autozone. I was all stoked driving that night. But the left one is a little lower than the right beam on the vertical. I can see a couple feet more on the right side than the left side. I tried aligning the headlight al;igning bubbles to be the same on both sides....but it's still lopsided. Besides one bubble is bigger than the other. WTF. Should I adjust the bubble toward the back or front of the car in comparison to the wide center line to adjust the headlight to beam higher?

Oh yah, the Silverstars look pretty cool, I am defintely changing the oem high beams too....they look so yellow compared to the Silverstars.

The drivers side was meant to be lower than the passenger side to avoid blinding of oncoming traffic.

You just did not notice that before with the oem bulbs.

Neither did I, until the hid were installed.

If you shine your lights onto a wall, the cutoff beam pattern is supposed to look like this:
