Default Projectors wont aim on low and hi-beams at the same time.

Ive been outside trying to get these things aimed right for over an hour, managed to kill my new battery doing it...

I got these projectors used last week and they fit fine, I thought I had em aimed until I tried to use them last night, the lows were not bad but the highs were not hitting the road at all, they were about 20 feet off the ground @ 100feet away...

so I tried adjusting the top adjuster and that got the highs down some but now the lows are too low...so I found the 2nd adjuster...now they are not matching left to right...

FOr instance now the lows will be even, but the high on the left will be higher. if I try to lower it, then it reverses sides...

What is the lower adjuster for, and is there a write up on aiming projectors?

Mine are exactly the same way

I have no solution for it, but spend quite a bit of time looking at them to see if I could find a way to rectify it, but cannot. I ended up doing some tricky wiring to allow the low beams/high beams to be on simultaneously. I also wired the fog lights to be on with them as well.

Got em aimed on the up/down axis...now Ive got to get the width set right, but it's real close. All in all, it's taken about 2hours to get em close.

I tried em a little bit tonight, the low beams are good to go, the right side high beam is a couple degrees higher...dont know how to remedy it, but it doesnt bother me much.

Still have to get the spread patterns set.
