I have the same kit and noticed that the fogs were a little off. The lights must be adjustable as my stock halogen highs point at the ground! The lows im not sure, as you know when the HID bulb goes in with the headlight out it you know you have a sure fit and I didn't see any adjustment screw when I put them back in. The lows are OK on mine. One fog seems to be off though, since the bulb is installed from underneath im going to double check all three tabs are in the socket. It sounds ridiculous but I def had to press hard to get all three tabs in and actually set two and the third was on the outside and still twisted into position. The highs HAVE to be adjustable or the high beam bucket is molded way off. Im gonna check tomorrow and report what I find. In fact I may try and get a headlight diagram online tonight. Save $100 for a Bentley mechanics manual, which is good to have just not cheap.

Did you check to make sure the bulbs are properly seated? Also, the HID beam will act a bit different than the stockers. The headlights are not really designed for aiming....but can be adjusted slightly by the way you tighten down the bolts and the rear clip.
