Fitted the 6000K H7 HID kit from diane-shop on ebay last weekend (£39.12 incl P&P!)
Light output is great, but the beam pattern doesn't look right at all, when I park the car in front of my garage doors & look at the pattern.
The original H7 bulbs produced a clear kink up on the passenger side, like this (if you swap the image left-right in hour head... this is a US beam pattern);
The HIDs produce a pretty much rectangular block of light.
Have any of the rest of you with HIDs from this supplier checked the beam pattern?
There was a little ring of clear plastic around the base of the lamp, which I assumed was part of the packaging, so I removed it before fitting the lamp... should I have used it as a spacer, to back the lamp out of the housing a little?
