surely you can adjust them
i know on the ZR you can use a torq key to adjust the height of the beam

Ask the company you bought them from.

That's what i would've thought too... In fact i'd say you have to be able to as often they need setting for MOT even with normal bulbs in.

Worthwhile taking it to a garage with beam setting equipement so you can line it up properly otherwise you can just try and park facing a wall
