Lightning problem HELP!!!!!

[changoleon]

I notice when using my cheap light kit that i bougth at ebay, I can see both umbrellas on each eye of my model. Could it be the angle the height of the light stands etc. I have notice some pictures here have a reflection on the eye to, but i am getting two reflections per eye, I can see both umbrellas on each eye everytime the lightrs shoots. Any advise will be of great help.

Well it doesn't matter how much you spend on the lights, the eyes are going to reflect them no matter what. If you don't want them reflected in the eyes, then yes, you'd need to change the camera-to-subject-to-light angle.

Generally speaking though, reflections in the eyes (or"catchlights") are usually a good thing, and bring a little life to the subject. Post some examples so we can see what you're talking about though.

I thought it was about weather.

With 2 reflections in each eye clone one reflection out of each eye.

As mentioned, the problem isn't the cheap lights you bought, it's your lack of experience and understanding in using them.
