    I need some help with these lights. i just got kits from TRS and installed when all done and mounted in the car noticed that they are twisted. there was only one way that they could go in due to the mounting brackets. Also the right light is alot dimmer than the left but i think that is because of the relay wiring harness the size of the wires is very small for power.

    Are these the Mini-H1 or D2S? I'm just curious more than it making a difference... I have the D2S projectors and they are slightly off the other direction (left side is low), but nowhere near as badly as yours.
    Please do not drive at night with those aligned like that... they will blind oncoming traffic.

    The problem is that the alignment ring is off. You noticed that they were not straight when installed... you should have corrected that before sealing up the housings.
    Your only option now is to open the housings back up and file/trim the tabs on the alignment pieces to allow the projectors to rotate so they are level.

    The reflector has a couple of horizontal lines that are perfect to use for aligning the projectors.
