Cover one light with something heat resistant, adjust the top of the 
beam on the other by shining it on a wall, garage door, etc.  My 80watt 
low-beams are pretty much level, no complaints from oncoming traffic.  
DOT lights might recieve some complaints at level.

If it doesn't help, you'll need the relays anyway for the eurolights.  I 
highly recommend the eurolights for any real improvement, sometimes 
brighter is worse without better focus.  I'm confident of my stock 
wiring, it's the stalk switch that's the weak point.  It gets pretty 
warm carrying 440+ watts, so I'd say I'm losing power there, and I'm in 
danger of frying an expensive switch.  I'm installing relays under the 
dash to feed the stock wiring.  I may lose a couple volts by not going 
right from the alternator, but I really don't need any more light (or 
any more wiring).
