zkwr lens installed and Headlight adjustment

So awhile back had zkwr lens installed thanks to JNC and went with the Phillips 85122+ bulb upgrade, Just got around to adjusting them after getting flashed a lot. Before I adjusted them I measured where the highest point where the light hit the fence and it was 33 in off the ground. from the ground to the middle of the projector lens was roughly 27in so that's what I adjusted the cutoff to,And haven't gotten flashed since. Is that still to high? what do you guys think of the cutoff line? do I need to adjust the drivers or passenger side some??

Cut off looks in line, try to get some with your car 25'+ further from the wall. Make sure the lower side of your cut off eventually hits the ground in the distance.

Is 27in ok? or should it be lower

its good. the Top of the cutoff line should be the same height as the floor to middle of headlight when your 25ft away from the wall.

who cares how much it is. If you don't get flashed by other drivers, and you still see the road, you are good.

Looks like I might even have to go lower. Been getting flashed a lot on my way to work the last couple days. I don't think the cutoffs that high. Might just be the bulb and lens combo makes it look very bright and people are mistaking them for brights. But ill go a little lower and see if that stops it
