Default eBay Headlights Suck

I bought a set of Spyder headlights and turn signals on eBay. They look awesome and are visually built very well, but the high beam on the left side points lower than the low beam... The HID bulbs I put in sit a little loose, and if I move the bulb the beam will move too. But, I can't move the bulb far enough to put the high beam above the low beam. The high-beam on the right side is higher than the low beam but not by much.

Anyone else have similar issues with these or other cheap headlights? It might be the HID bulbs because I think the stock bulbs don't move in the housings. Need to confirm this however.

Any good cheap set of projector lights out there?

These are what I got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Tahoe-...ht_1795wt_1194

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I will put the stock bulbs in there for now.

The headlights are one unit, so you cant aim the high and lows separately.

No such thing. I have been up and down this road on my girlfriend's RSX. Any cheap projector...is going to project cheaply, especially if you plan to utilize HIDs.
