You need to get a better quality HID kit first before you adjust your beam. Better yet, ditch your ****ty quality kit and install your halogen bulbs back in there. That beam and light spread is HORRIBLE.

^agreed, you should see a nice crisp top line, but to answer your question, there is an adjustment gear right on the outside of the lowbeam housing, it is adjusted using a standard Philipshead screw driver.

I used Garax on my low beam and while the color output is great, the actual light (lumens) output is less than the stock 4300K bulb, but still showing much better than your picture light output. Hence, my HID converted foglight helped a lot in term of clarity.
I put in the XenonDepot Volt HID kit in my wife's highlander and the output was great. I have not had time to adjust the level but need to since the light output very far. No reliability on the Volt kit yet since I just put them in a month ago. But forum here says their service is great.
My foglight was using ddm tuing kit and after 2 and 1/2 year of night time use, the kit is starting to fail. It will light on and turn off quickly.
My wife's old rev4 is using HIDExtra HID kit and it is still doing ok after 1 1/2 year of use.

JUST AN INSIDE TIP FROM A LEXUS TECH
GET SOMEONE TO SIT IN YOUR DRIVERS SEAT WHILE YOU MAKE YOUR ADJUSTMENTS...
its help a little bit.
not ALOT just A LITTLE.
especially for those who can be picky

Just looking at the picture of your headlights, it looks like the bulb is sitting in the housing wrong.
I pulled my bulb out to check that it was an H11, and when I put it back in, it did the same thing. I had to take it back out, turn it more and re-insert. It's fine again.
You'll know it's right when you see the cut-off line again.
