Angry HID Focus Spot

Ok, I have 5,000K HID's in my Low Beams. My Passenger side has the bright focus spot in the middle of the beam, but my driver side doesn't, the bulbs ARE seated correctly. I've checked about 10 times now, they also dont seem to align very well when pointing on the garage. I need help because its driving me nuts, because I like everything to be just right.

I've aimed them and everything. My driver side is not getting a very bright focus spot, it's very dim. I didn't know if it has something to do with the headlight or the bulb.

100% can tell you they are not seated properly, I know from having the same expirence. its so hard to get in there, that you think you have them seated properly, they are not.

I feel your frustration! Just put HID's the the NA and the passenger side is fine (excpt for slight flickering) the driver side is some sort of oval pattern that sucks! I also have checked the alinement a zillion times and it's STILL jacked!
BTW the drive side flickers BAD. Looks like one of those motorcycle headlights that flash for more visibility.

If you have an oval beam pattern, it is definitely not seated properly.

You can unclip the clip (?) and rotate/adjust it when the bulb is on-it won't get too hot. This is the easiest way to do it. The correct position is very subtle. It only has to be off a scoshe and it will give you an oval. Try it-it works!
