Default Clear headlight blinding everyone

I installed the clear headlights and they fit perfectly, and is bright. Only problem is that the light beams upward not downward. It's like having a high beam all the time when I drive at dark. I already got some mad *** people showing road rage gestures for the cause of my head light. Again, it's installed correctly, no, my light is not on highbeam. Does anyone with clear headlight have similar problem? My car model is H.Accord 01 Ex.

Thanks for the suggestion mike, but how do I aim them? There's no access to the bulbs, except for the signal bulb lights. There are three light bulbs and the two of the main beaming lights have no way of replacing or arranging them. Maybe there's something I don't know about?

Open hood,,,,

U should see 2 adjusyment screws on the light assembly. One adjusts left-right,,,, the other adjusts up-down.

Best to work at night about 20 feet from a white surface (garage door works). Point lights at white surface,,,,,,turn on lights,,,,, open hood,,,,,, get flashlight and srewdriver. Aim lights.

Should take about 15 minutes.
