you can try to make custom shields on the bulb or learn to live with it. the housings werent designed for hid lights so the beams wont be right.

You need to adjust both your headlights towards the middle. Right now your left headlight is pointing too far left and your right headlight is pointing too far right. And you're probably blinding the heck out of other drivers.

89-92 LS use 9004/HB1 stock bulbs and later 89-94 and ALL year JDM headlights use H4 bulbs.

trying to use a 9004 bulb in your JDM housing will cause a problem such as you are having (possibly)
