Is this normal? (HID question)

I don't remember seeing this when I originally set my HID's.

Is there a way I can fix it if its a problem?

I think hes referring to the brightspot in the middle of the cutoff on the left side, where as its not there on the right. Thats usually caused by a improperly seated bulb.

So wait is it the left or the right that isn't seated properly? How would I go about reseating it (they came with the HID's already installed when I got them)

its cus your running a 8k... if you want bright you should have aimed for 5000k or MAX 6000k. 4300 is the whitest u can get

I like the 5000. They still aren't aimed correctly cause when I did it I only had 12-15ft. to work with. I keep telling my self I'm going to fix it one day but they are such a pain in the ass lol.
