beam pattern is all wrong, and doubtful they can be adjusted.

aftermarket HIDS without the proper projector-lens setup is just fail IMO... aswell as MOT fail...

Twist the screws in he bottom corners of the lights should get the beam down a bit, but the pattern wil always be wrong as they are LHD.

that depends on the garage. The beam pattern on mine was bang on, didnt get flashed by on coming traffic and it passed the MOT at a very stringent garage
