i'll bet money that you have them in upside down. The high beam should point higher when you put them on, not int othe ground.

I bought some of those crappy H4s off Ebay for my car, they kept filling up with water and I found isibility poor. Yanked em back out and put my old ones back in and they work great.

Like my cousin always says: "Cheap always gets it in the ass."

SO u guys think i have them backwards. So does the daylight bulb should be on top instead of the buttom. Guys got pics of your h4 up close so i can see. thanks guys.

Why don't you just try it, you'll know right away if it's wrong. If that doesn't work, try the adjusting screws on the headlight bezel.

the running lights should be on the bottom. like you can see below. Are you sure ur bracket or the housing is not funkied up? if the bulb is loose inside, it could cause it too. Worst comes to worst, the internal reflectors could be at fault. then that would suck.

no my housing is not fucked up. my bracket is good. i prolly just need to adjust them a little. when i first got them. the bulbs were a bitch to put in and were a bitch to pull out. im like wtf. so prolly need to go to a wall an make sure my lights are what 3 or so from the ground.

You need to seal where the bulb goes into the housing.

with my first set of H4 conversions, i think i had this problem. on the H4 housing, it said top, but it was really the bottom. so i flipped it over and that worked. dont know why that was like that, kinda pissed me off. now i have H4 projector conversions. much better.

I just bought a set of Sylvania Hi Visibility Sealed beams, they work pretty good.
