Depo Gen 4 Issue

So i got my depo gen 4's last week, 6000k HID's 55w digital balyst, and the instale was pretty straight forward, took a while to get the stock out but after that it was much easier to see what to do. they are crystal clear and i love them so far, except for this "hot spot" issue ( i think thats what this is ). my passenger side has a great cut off line. that looks amazing, then the drivers side is just blah... also, when i align them on a flat building the blue tip on top of my line from the bulb is much much higher than the one on the drivers side, but this one has the best straight line? so i align the top of the blue part, the enitial top of the bulb, and then the lines/distance it goes out is way messed up.... i am not a handy about this stuff, im just confused as to why one side does different things then the other.

Not exactly sure how to fix it but I'm willing to bet having 55w HIDs instead of 35 isn't helping anything haha.

Why would the 55's have anything to do with it? the passenger side looks terrific.

Pull the bulb out and reinstall it. incorrect bulb installation/seating is a major cause of incorrect beam pattern. Also posting a picture would help. Make sure when you are aligning all of this (and when you take the pic) you are about 25 feet away from the wall you are using to check the output on, being closer will not be accurate.

ok man, ill try that. but yea ive done from real close (first) to get them close aftr install, then i backed up pretty far and i aligned the blue intial bulb beams then i went out driving and the passenger side was low, so i was like what the ... then i went back and i noticed the driver side doesnt have a "cut off" line, its like one giant hot spot. like i said the passenger side one looks terrific. i also noticed my front bumper might be screwy, cuz the passenger side its a tight fit, and on the driver side theres a gap ( bot with OEM and aftermarket lenses) i dont think that would screw with mountin. just kinda noticed it
