Default jdm hid help please (pics inside)

sup well i just installed my jdm hid headlights today. i checked out the cutoff line and to me it looks horrible, i used a philip screwdriver to try bring the projector up and down to line it up but i have no idea what should i do? Also the passengers side looks a little yellower than the drivers what could be the problem and how can i fix both of these problems. any help would be great thanks


i dont like how its crisscrossing it shouldnt be like this correct?

the passenger headlight should be higher than the driver side.

I think its fine to criss cross in the center. Ive seen some newer cars do the same exact thing. My friend has a RX330 from lexus and it does the same **** when up against a wall. As does my friends 07 Si after installing HIDs and my own DA. its just the way the light pattern works i guess.

since its jdm it is supposed the cutoff is higher on the driver side. road signs are on the other side of the road, so the beam would shine to the driver side. the beam projectory is correct as it should be in japan.

wouldnt know how to make it go the otherside though....
