Default DEPO headlight install issues

Hey everyone,

I ordered some DEPO euro elipsoid headlights with a 35w 4500k HID kit, arrived yesterday, and installed it yesterday, it's nice, especially considering the fact that they were only $99.00

BUT... after installng them, my corner lights don't seem to be flush at all,

My passenger side corner light isn't even in all the, way(there's a gap between the fender and the light. My driver's side one is slightly better, as there's no gap between the fender and the light, however, it could be better. My question is how can this issue be resolved?

Also, Where are the bulb adjusters located on the DEPOs that let you adjust the aiming of the bulbs??

And a third question, any of you guys with HID's, where did you locate your ballasts?? Mind if anyone can post up pics of where any of you located your ballasts for me please. I appreciate any help I can get, Thank you!

1: There screws that attach to the headlights are adjustable too, so you should be able to screw them in and out (or up and down) as you need to...Like the plastic screw on the bottom of the picture.
(The bolt that's circled red attached to one like it too...There's 4 per headlight...well, 5 but you don't use one when you install the DEPOs)

Here's the other side of that headlight...you can't really see it, but the circled bolt is attached to one...


2: The adjuster is towards the back, it looks like you can use an allen key to adjust it, but you can use a screwdriver I believe...
In this picture, if you look at where the wire is coming from, it's that hole in the middle

If you look at the back, you should see gears that turn right below it.

3: I just let my HIDs hang haha...There's a few places that people mount them at...A popular place that people put em at is the bumper support...A metal piece that's hidden under the headlight, behind the bumper.

Hopefully I made some kind of sense and helped you out somehow!!
