Default 2004 honda civic headlight issue

Hi guys, I recently purchased a pair of LED projector headlights for my 04 civic and I noticed after the installation that my low beams were dim and projecting a yellowish light which is hindering my night time driving ability. I've already changed the bulbs with HID hyper-white bulbs and I'm still getting the same result. What can I do to make my lights brighter?? Here's a picture of the headlights I bought:

I'd be happy to try and help but can't see the picture and I'm not sure what you mean from your description, sorry :/

Well, based on that pic, it looks like your low beams aren't aimed right. Definitely look to be pointing too low from that angle, but I can't tell for certain without seeing the beam against a flat surface (wall or something). As for the color, the only thing I know of that affects that is the particular bulb that you have installed; they make HID bulbs in a huge range of colors.

How do I adjust the beam angle? I'll take a pic of the light against a wall when I get the chance it post it up here for ya. I've actually done a little research into this, and an HID should* fix this problem, so I'm probably going to get a 5000k HID kit in the near future.
