Question PROJECTOR AIMING!!! help please...

So my long awaited projector retro came to an "almost there" today... Worked a solid 6 hours on the actual install, and ended with a sick feeling of uncertainty when it came to the aiming and combo with my brights (as if I'll ever use em anyway, but still...)

I took these pics, the car was about 26 feet from the opposing building, a little off of straight to spare the left right alignment comments please...
But anyhow, bumper to wall is about 26 feet. The cut off is approx. 25.5 inches up the wall. The high beams are about 3 feet up - too high?

I took it for a spin as they are seen, and it seemed like they were really low, but this is also my first set of projectors. They didn't ignite the street signs like I thought they were gonna, and to do that, I think I would be blinding oncoming drivers...

I want to get them all set and sealed tomorrow morning and take the glory pics with a job well done... I need you guys who actually know - to tell me whats off. PLEASE!

One pic is brights and hid's - the other is HIDs only, and the last is a close up of the HIDs only, the left one looks like crap compared to the right - WHY? Anything I can do to fix it? It looks like a sloppy cut off, and as if the left beam has two jumps, a big and a little, as opposed to one big one on the right.

INFO IS REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!

Thanks so much guys - you all rock.

I do plan on updating my OLD! diy on this project, so no worries, many more pics to come
