gen 4 headlights weird output

I have had these gen 4 headlights for about a year and their output was good with HIDs. I was having a problem with one of my ballasts that got wet and bought Sylvania bulbs. They are bright but the only thing is now my left headlight has a weird light output. Its not like the right headlight which lights up fine. The left has a weird shape and has no cut off point. I will up load a few pics in a few mins

HID have a different light dispersion than halogen, those headlamps seem to be made for HIDs, you should not put halogens in them.

left headlamp seems to be pointing downwards and right seems to be aimed way too high. it may just need some adjusting.

Thats my bad on the right one lol I was trying to lower it but I guess I was doing up. Before I had the aimed perfect since they were pointing downward when I got them. The left one is way upward but still shows like that. I had tried moving the bulb around since it fits loose, but now it wont move from where its at now. Seems like thats how the bulb goes. Should I try swaping the bulbs with each other? Maybeone bulb is defective?
