usr depo headlight lighting off

just did the conversion and i got the headlight adjusted but when i start driving on the road the left side has a dark spot. no matter how i adjust it doesnt move. right now i have the stock h7 bulbs in. HID is coming in today but i fell like it will be the same. its coming from the driver side headlight. is there a fix or its defective. thanks

This isn't a defect. This is the normal beam pattern. HIDs will make it brighter and it annoy you so much, but it'll always be there.

Your beam pattern looks off. There seems to be a lot of steps

It's just the way the depo lights are designed. Another forum member used a file to smooth it down and get a cleaner line: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...postcount=1894
