just installed HID conversion kit

[stanley19870425]

there is a dark area where i circled. firstly, i thought thats maybe the bulb gets dirt during the installation. however i took both bulbs out and had a good cleaning, the problem still there, still got the dark area.

just wondering is this normal or anyone else here having the same issue. although it is not a big problem for the vision.

Whoa... easy on the formatting. We can read.

Without seeing it in person (because the camera doesn't quite capture headlight beams the greatest) I would be guessing it's one of two things.

1) The return wire on the HID lamp casting a shadow in the reflector/projector housing causing a dark area. This is that ceramic coated wire that runs the length of the HID lamp.

2) The lens of the projector. The lens for the projector isn't exactly really high optic grade glass. It's good quality, but it doesn't mean it's perfect. They may be a slight imperfection in it which can cause such issues.

Personally, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with mine. The beam pattern isn't quite perfectly even on the road, but I'm not paying attention to it.

interesting... Have you tried swaping the bulbs? That will determine if its the projector or bulb. Most likely the bulb but it could be from chrome in the reflective bowl peeled off
