Default Please help! New headlights

Ok so I bought the one piece chrome k2 motors euro headlights from ebay put em in&they look nice but while driving I have some serious issues.The beams make an X pattern,there's no light where it should be&the beam Will make as I said the X and end up 3 or four lanes over.
I read all about these before ordering &saw nothing about this.Any idea how to fix this issue?Its really bad!I can't stress enough the fact that the beams come out like a X crossing over eachother.And there's a piece that goes over the front of the bulb what is that for heat issues?

This may or may not help you exactly. Either way it should give you the basic idea on how to adjust your headlights for proper aim.

The lights need to be adjusted to aim properly. The metal piece in front of the bulb is to reflect the light back into the housing. The back of the housing broadens and reflects the light out to the road.

Aim the lights and you should be fine. Usually there are either thumdwheels or screws to do so.

Did you figure out how to make them go left and right? I have the same cap concept and so far I can only get them to adjust up and down.

i have heard the aftermarket are hard to get adjusted. one member on here used flat wshers as shims behind the housing screws to make them aim right. you could try that, sounds like alot of trial and error. thats why i opted for oem style ones even tho the euros look really cool
