    Opposite Euro Beam Pattern

    I have Bosch Euro Smilies. My beam pattern looks like this:

    \_____\_____

    What gives? I thought the beam pattern for Euro Ellips were:

    _____/_____/


    I installed a 4300K HID kit and blind oncoming traffic since my cutoff angles up on the left side instead of the right side. Why are my cutoffs opposite??????

    They are adjustable. Unscrew the 3 screws on the back of the light and turn it so the beam is the way you want.

      just loosen the three screws on the back of the housings and rotate the rear portion to change the cutoff. your ellips must have come from the uk
