All RHD headlights will have that tail off to the left, its a legal requirement and is tested at MOT

What year car? What Morettes? Why do you want the flat beam pattern?

What is an HD bulb?

They're HID in my 02 Bugeye morrettes conversion DIP only and they are a great improvement over the standard bulbs that were in these morrettes when i bought them BUT i darn't set them too high in case these 'tails' dazzle oncoming traffic.

Are the tails like this: \_____ \_____ ?

Or like this? _____/ _____/ ?

If it's the top, those tails are SUPPOSED to be there, they are to illuminate the verges, sides of te road, cycles, pedestrians that your dip cut-off doesn't. They are a LEGAL requirement for MoT, beam pattern is checked and it should be that pattern.

If they are like the bottom ones, you have the wrong lights installed for the UK

If your lights are causing too much dazzle because of the HID bulbs, you ought to go back to Halogen. The lights are designed for halogen bulbs and even a mm or so difference in bulb position can cause lack of focus and glare.

Sounds like a cheap HID kit which isn't focussing?
