Adjust light full beam directions

Can you adjust the full beam headlamp direction without affecting the main beam direction? My main beam Xenons are directed fine but the full beam lights point to the sky! I can only find the standard white plastic screw adjusters but they adjust both beams at the same time. Have I just got some dud headlamps? tried swapping bulbs around and twisting mounts but full beam still points to sky!

The answer is no. what you need to do is adjust your high beam down and the xenons up.

aren't the highbeams and lowbeams in the same unit? I know in my car when I push the stalk forward (not flashing highs) the shutter just opens and more light comes out, a different light is not activated.

Aren't the Xenons self leveling, and therefore if you adjust the casing down you are, in effect, adjusting them separately?
