angel eyes question

Ok so I've fitted my angeleyes and all is working fine apart from this
When I put my dipped headlights on they come on as normal but then when I switch over to full beam the full beam comes on as normal but the dipped light goes off and won't come back on untill I switch back over to dipped.
Also they don't appear to be very bright when driving and I've upgraded to brighter bulbs.
Thanks

How do you mean? When you flash your beams the dipped goes off? You're not very clear on that mate,

Yes mate wen I flash the dipped goes off then comes back on when I let go off the flash.
They also do it if I turn full beam on.

i cant seem to figure out how to adjust the ''beam'' of the light.
i know it should really be done by a garage but im sure i could line them up better than what they are by trial and error but i cant figure out how to do it.
my angel eyes have a ''twist'' knob with a bolt coming through them on the back of the lights.im assuming this is what is needed to be turned in order to adjust them.
thing is the ''twist'' knob wont budge! however putting a 4mm socket on the end of the bolt coming out of them allows me to turn the bolt but the beam does not change so im assuming i need to actually twist the ''twist'' knob thing.
any ideas would be great coz driving at night is pants as i cant see anything!

yeah ideally it needs to be done at a garage, they have all the gear to set it. wot ur on about the twisty thing simply adjusts the beam up and down. on ur standard lights you would have probly used the little switch thing next to your headlight switch.
get it done at a garage i thinks its about £15 cos if its wrong it cu fail its MOT. when they adjust them they dont just twist the twisty thing the move the light ands bulbs around.

Sorted it now! It is the metal bolt that sticks out off the back of the lights that I needed to turn.looks much better now!
