HID fogs light pattern!

Hi guys,

Just wondering if your HID fogs has the same light pattern as mine. Can I see some pics ,please?!

I don't have a picture of my HID fogs, but it looks like POWA's, so I use his.(Powa, SORRY, I use your pic, hope you don't mind..)

I know it's really bright and all, but is it always like this? OR I installed mine wrong? Can we fix this?THX. Been thinking to take them off and sell them if I can't get a better/nicer light pattern out of it. I'm just a little **** about these things

Well, it's different than BiX. It doesn't spread out as much, but it's REALLY2 bright! You should do it if you're not really **** about the pattern.
