i have the chrome projectors and it seems as though my beam pattern is off

i was just wondering how to adjust the patten of the beam of the lights on my h3 bulbs

the driver side angles down while the passenger side is angled up
so when im driving it looks like only one light is on because only half is hitting the ground

ASWZero is an unknown quantity at this point
just like the suspension you have to align the headlights to factory standard. I guess you can by the alignment tool for about $500 and do align 10 cars and make money off it. Most cars you have to take off the bumper. You can safely get about a hours worth of work done in about half hour.
