Normal To Have This Pattern?

[shuaibakhtar]

Just put HID's in my headlights, H11, noticed that my beam pattern has changed and was wondering if this was normal?

The cutoff looks decent for a halogen projector. I've seen a lot worse.

What change in beam pattern are you referring to? Do you think there's something wrong with the foreground lighting or are you referring to the cutoff on the wall?

I always thought there was meant to be a flick on the left side of the beams for it to be acceptable for MOT, i wasnt sure if this would pass MOT or not :(

Look fine to me. Here's mine.

so i take it its quite normal for the patterns to be like that?

[Exdee]

I am not sure what you are referring to in the pattern but if you mean the 'step' on the cut-off as shown below than yh that is normal. The right side of your beam should be lower than the left so that you don't flash oncoming traffic.

all sorted now, got the same as you!, turn out my headlights needed some serious realigning especially as the car has now been lowered, i really couldn't see anything when driving on motorways because of how low the cutoff line was but now its changes and forms a perfect z shape!
