Default Help on IS350 Halogen Headlights

I just installed these new silverstar zxe headlights from Advance auto parts and they look awesome. The problem is that they are not level. the drivers light is brighter then the passenger or angled differently. How do I adjust them so i get the best visibility.

Also what can I buy to replace the ugly parking lights and DRLs. What is the best bulb for the high beam replacement. I would something with a blue tint. or maybe LED.

thanks

So is your driver side light angled downward in comparison to your passenger side light?

no when shinning on a wall the driver is slightly higher and seems to be more full.

Driver's side should be lower. I believe it should look something like this:


Minus the blue cutoff of course.

Parking lights details can be found here:

For the DRL, if you do choose to go LED, you lose your high beam functionality because the DRL bulb is the same as the high beam. When you put LED as the DRL, you have to use a module adapter to get the DRL to work. If you just want to swap out your high beams for a different bulb, they will still stay a yellow-ish color when in acting as the DRL. HID is not recommended for the high beam bulb.
