Sorry to hear that.
Not sure if your issue is due to projector type that simply wont output any better or misaligned/crappy bulb, but if its only height issue , but you can always try to adjust them yourself ( I did mine). Takes just few minutes to learn&understand the concept and after that if you follow instructions it will just be as good as garage. Or even better, as you wont snap your regulators.... (seriously)...

thats what I've been using as guidance for last few years. Checked once against machine in my indie shop - allignment was spot on.
