I recently purchased aftermarket HID bulb and installed in to Winjet headlight.
Also had aftermarket HID bulb for 2 years without any problem but this time beam pattern is just shittt.

Shitty projectors without built-in cutoffs.

I've installed HIDs on my winjets...I'm satisfied with the output/cutoff on mines. Pretty even and clean cutoff once I leveled everything.

It looks like the bulbs are upside down on yours though? The winjets had a little slot shape for where the bulb wire should go (on the bottom)

Which means bulb wire should be on bottom?
I also have always been satisfied with HID bulbs but not this time.
Need to flip them around tonight

Thanks for your help!

Ay, No problem. I hope that's what it is. It's a pain in the ass to work the bulb once the headlights are already on the car. Or it might just be me lol. Hate that we have to remove the bumper for these things.
