    Help again! JDM headlights

    I just re-did the headlights. Made custom lens spacers, clear Mazda3 lenses, converter to LHD beam pattern. Now I have a shitty cut-off beam. Right in the middle of it, there's a glare on each one. They were thoroughly cleaned before reassembly. Outside lenses have light scuffs. It couldn't effect it that much.

    Any help?

    It's too bright to get a good shot at 25'.

    I just noticed the beam is upside down. I pull the bulb out a hair and it's right side up. Did I not shim the lens enough or too much?

    I stated before it's too bright in our shop to put it on the wall.

    This was shot at about 20'. You can see the beam is upside down and has a huge hot spot

    Got it figured out. The lense was too high. So I ordered a more slim lense and it corrected the pattern.
