show me in your pic the void, and mine are adjusted as high up as they can go and i need them a lil higher and i think you should get the beams as straight as possible but i could be wrong, try swapping the bulbs around and see if you get the same result

Looking at your bottom picture I noticed the "hot spot" for that lamp closer to the vehicle on the ground. This indicates that your lamp on that side is mounted 180 degrees opposite from the drivers side. When installing make special note of the support bar that runs along the side of the lamp. It should be in the same position on both sides.

After changing the lamp get your vehicle as closely as you can front bumper against a verticle wall or garage door. Use some tape and make a horizonal line of tape even with the center of the main headlight. Do this on both sides and then use another piece of tape to make a verticle line at the center of the headlight....making a set of crosshairs +. Back your vehicle up 25 ft from the headlight to the wall. Now aim your headlights putting the "hotspot" as close as you can to the crosshairs but NOT above them. They may not come all the way up to the line due to running out of adjustment....just do the best possible. Please remember that there is no side to side adjustment, only up and down. Hope this helps.
