Default jdm dc5 hid headlights, who has em?? need technical help!!

hey so i installed the jdm gunmetal HID headlights on my g/f's car... all seems to be well except the cutoff on the headlights seems to be on a 100/280degree angle.. not 90/270 or maybe even a bit more extreme.. is this common with the headlights? cuase i have jdm front conversion on my dc2 with the hid headlights and this was not a problem with them... if anyone has any info that you think might help it would be greatly appreciated... maybe also shed some light on the tool that is used to remove the cover for the HID bulb? dont have something like that around that ive seen!

Thanks guys
