One of the reasons why I switched back to halogens was I had a "dip" in the center of my light pattern. It wasn't visible on when projected on to a wall, but on the road, it did not light up the road ahead but lit up the sides perfectly.

UPDATE
I checked my setup again and I saw a minor v shape dip but its not that bad.

Your headlights appear to be aimed way to high, and you are definitely shining excess light into people's eyes. You shouldn't get that dip in your headlights if they are aimed correctly. They should not go higher in the sides.

Aiming won't fix the problem, because there is no knob that moves the beam left or right.

One of my side was not turning on all the time so I switched sides for the bulbs yesterday, and noticed a tab at the end of the bulb. So there really is only one way to seat the bulbs correctly right?
The tab kinda like this http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DDMH7bulb.jpg
