How is my aim?

Can someone who is adept at aiming headlights tell me if the aiming of my projectors of good or off and where to go with them? Pic below:
Low beam projector pattern:
High beam output:
I know the highbeam is off obviously. Actually I didn't know it was so off balance but which one needs to go up or down?
Also, I am installing my HID kit this weekend. Will I have to readjust or should the aim stay the same as long as I don't mess with the knobs?

how far away from the wall are you? you should be about 25 feet away, but im not sure on how far up from the ground they should be. but they should be higher than what they are right now.

That's maybe 15 feet at the most from the wall. I know it isn't 25 feet. The pics are taken from the outside of the center of my windshield so you may be able to judge from there.

I actually did go by that but My driveway isn't exactly level so I may be off. Also, I was sort of confused as to what he meant by "put the low line of the cutoff 2" under the tape". Does that mean the line where light ends vertically is the cutoff line? I picture below of the line I am referring to. If it is what I think, I did that but like I said, I could be off.
What about the high beams?

you probably want to keep it something like that, because it will keep the lights from projecting too high into oncoming lanes..

if you cover one light up, you will notice that there is a "step" in the horizontal line, otherwise known as the cutoff.
The lower section is the lower line in the cutoff I was talking about, at 25', it should be 2" under the tape.
