    I just replaced my halogen long beams with Xenon conversion kit. However, it seems that new bulbs create a very bright area close to car nose - causing me to actually see worse far away to the distance.

    Can long beams be adjusted separately somehow? I tried looking at the housings and I only saw one adjustment screws. I have factory LED lights if it matters.

    HIDs in reflectors never work well, You're better off converting the stock 9005(?) bulbs to 9012 HIR. They are still halogen, and produce ALOT more light than halogen, but still perform as they should in the reflector. Your best bet is to just go back to halogen. The highbeams cannot be adjusted differently, either.

    Will try that, thanks for the tip!

    I was afraid this would be the answer. However, I was hoping someone might have thought of something different and found a sloution.

    Thanks!

    +1, highbeams aren't adjustable.

    See attached. It says that if the low beams are aligned correctly, then the high beams will be also. As you mentioned, there is only one adjustment screw for each headlight unit, whether halogen or LED. Hope this helps...
