    Does it matter in which way you fit the bulbs because i put the bulb aim to its highest but it still didnt sine very far so there useless on very dark roads... so i took the bulbs out again and refitted but this time they were slightly clockwise if you were to look at the back of them and see the 3 pins if you get me... this time the aim was reallly high so i had to lower so it didnt blind on comming drivers. Is this the way there meant to be fitted and why does it affect the aim so bad :s

    yes it matters, affects the beam pattern if incorrectly fitted

    so which is the correct way? should the pin be strait or should the bulb be slightly turned?
