I recently fitted a 6k kit to my H4 morettes (hi/low) but i noticed my beam pattern had gone

Till one day, i noticed it was on the floor Laughing

They only fit one way, and my standard bulbs didnt do this? Plus the only illuminate the top half of the headlight?

 


Any ideas?

They do have a metal surround on them, but surely if they move they both cant be in the same position

when fitting H7 Hids to a vectra i had sameish problem, only it was the arc blocking light and reflecting through the projectors and giving off 2 v shape shadows, in the end i had to remove the base and turn it around,

on some H4 kits i have seen i removable base as it does does look like the metal cover is reflecting light the wrong way, ill try find a video for ya
