can you point the lights at a garage door or wall to see if the beam has a pattern.....
 
Here they are on a garage door.The left one has a split personality. It is the bulb because I could flex the back of it and make it change. I noticed the right one does kind of the same thing on high, so I will check to make sure they are plugged in correctly.

so there is no pattern, I like the hella's conversion lenses cause they have a pattern and I can aim them up the road and not bother other drivers...

In the top pic the spot on the right is the right low beam, when the high beams are on it loses its focus and looks like the left low beam. But the left low beam becomes focused on high beams. So I think its the bulb because it has the led pods on two sides, not 360° like an hid or standard bulb.

I have 4 hella conversion lenses with HID's....4300 bi-xenon HID on the outside and 4300 HID for the high beams. Best lights I have had on my GP and I'll never replace them with anything else.

Nice way to go. Where did you buy the HID's and how do they compare to the LED's ?

Nice way to go. Where did you source the HID's and are they better than LED's?

I have a friend who owns an audio and anything else you want store. But the HID he has is the same that you get on Ebay, they are all made in China. As for the Hella conversion lens he ordered them from one of his suppliers. The Hella lenses cost me about $80 for each pair but I think they are worth the price. I like the HID better than the LED. The LED lights I have seen have issues with the heat the circuit board produces and I like the HID beam better.

I was talking to my friend at his store today. He has sold 5 LED kits and 4 of them have been returned defective. He tried to warranty one pair of bulbs today and his supplier has discontinued carrying the product....

If you want quality led bulbs order from vleds. Their led bulbs are superb. I run every single one of their bulbs on my 13 Exl accord. Never had any issues use them daily

I don't want or need led headlights, I like my HID which don't need a huge heat sink with a fan
