So after switching over the black mask with orange and having the chrome finish with reflectors.
The visibility has improved but,this normal?
Apology with the poor images,but its only way to show it in dark.
If it isn't what might be problem?
Alignment completely off because of not properly sealed?
Fitting was done incorrectly?
Reflectors damaged?
Bulbs giving in?

So how is improving the 'visibility' a problem?
& you wrote an apology for the poor images, surely you meant English?

What I mean is it is an improvements from when I had the white reflectors and not the chrome installed.

Was your levelling switch on '0' when you took the pictures?
You need to go to a garage and get the headlamps aligned. You could attempt it yourself against a wall but it's not as accurate as their machines. It's the sort of thing the apprentice can do and shouldn't cost that much as only a 5 minute job.

I just went to the garage,they say the alignment seems okay but the pattern really off. I will need wait until Monday for them to see if they can sort it out.

As long as your adjusters work it should be a 5 minute job. I had a nightmare trying to free the inside of my headlights so they would move with my adjusters. Think someone tried to split them in the oven, gave up and sold them to me!

Looks like the bulbs have been fitted upside down to me 
Plus the headlamp alignment needs checking / adjusting at an mot station.
