Default plug and play hid question help

so i finally had the hids done i had hid masters do it. i had 6k put in and cool white led bulbs in fogs

the one question to see if this is normal or not when i line up to my garage to see if the projectors are all straight theres a nice purple and a tinge of yellow line on drivers side but on pass side theres more yellow then perple but it looks straight when i drive at night whn the yellow parts hit the street in front of car it looks like pass side is higher on the street then the driver side. i took it back to hid masters thinking the projector was higher on one side then the other
is this normal for these projectors on is250 or does my projector need to be adjusted? feedback would help thanx

All cars are set up like that, but without HiDs it's hard to notice...please let me know if I'm wrong but I believe the driver side is lower to keep it out of the vision line of on coming traffic, while the passenger is higher to give you further visibility.

Correct. The step up or sometimes a flare up depending in the projector design is used to light up street signs on the passenger side. The driver's side will always be lower to reduce glare. The purple blue color band is only present on the sides of our projectors. These projectors were purposely designed to have the yellow color band in the center to eliminate color flicker.

i get all that but when the yellow hits the street shouldnt it be even on both sides then one being low and other being up it looks funny. Do u think the right bulb isnt in correctly?

i know we spoke about this in PMs, but you can adjust it with a screw driver (using Lexus instructions), but if you're close to the installer, have them adjust it for you
