[QUOTE="jaleeks23, post: 401056, member: 8431"] Look at the bulb holder, there is a marker. If the bulb marker and the holder's marker are aligned, make sure the holder is sat in properly to the headlamp's body, wire connector portion facing upwards and make sure none of the legs' of the holder is broken. There is 3 legs to make sure the holder fits nicely. If the holder's legs are broken, change holder. this is my personal experience, with broken legs and no matter how you try to adjust, focus is not there. Somehow, I think the holder ensures the bulb is in the centre of the projector's lense. Now, with new holders and properly sat in, it looks good. Broad enough, far enough. Also take note don't compare brightness between projector and reflector, totally different. If you ask me, I prefer my highbeam reflectors, much brighter and more intense compared to my projector, even though highbeam is on ori H7. Will try to take photo and upload to show how my beam is at night. [/QUOTE]
