Your best bet is to do a HID Retrofit, I'll do one for a small fee

Here is an example of my lovely work.




Your lights would be perfect for halloween, it looks like a ghost =X

Okay joking aside, I think your bulbs need to be adjusted. Just stop by, you know where I live. lol

Try seeing if the bulb will rotate in the housing and orient it differently in the head light. Try to get the exposed wire (the one that comes out the top of the bulb and travels along side it usually covered in a ceramic tube) either at the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position once you've twisted it in place. It reduced glare and got the light pointed crrectly when I did it.

If gqchynaboy's price is right though, go with a complete retrofit.
