i got the same lights. when i installed them first they were only flashing to the side of the car, than i repositioned them and then they were lighting only few feet in the front of the car. THe trick is to pull in a alley during the night, turn them on and just pop the metal pin (don't pull it out all the way). while pin is popped from the bottom the bulb should be lose. Play around with the bulb by twirling it and try to get the right position. After you got it hold it with one hand and with the other pop the pin back in to the slot. Do one light at a time... hope this helps... at first when i got the light i was little dissapointed but i knew there was a trick with the positioning of the bulb. Now the lighting is equal everywhere and i can actually see far away at pitch dark
