Had very poor coverage with my Headlight low beams. Got them checked and aligned.

I'm trying to quantify exactly what I have
Still have very poor coverage on Low beams. high beams are great! I had already changed to a higher wattage low beam. The bulb seemed a little brighter but no more coverage.

I'm assuming that the Hella lenses are OEM lenses? I'm going to play around with the 25'test set up and see what the lights are really covering. Right now it seems as if I have poor coverage forward and to the left but the right side seems to go high. the total beam path, coverage seems too short and mis-directed too high on the right.

If I don't find any thing I guess I'll go ahead and get a set of E code lenses and try them.

Any other suggestions?
