So, my driver's side headlight is ok. well, as good as expected from the non-sport housings..

My passenger's side headlight, however, is PERFECT...

... for coon hunting, or anything else that is NOT on the road in front of you.

It shines light everywhere but on the street.. It's not a dull lens, it's not out of alignment (per little headlight aligner dooka-ma-hitchie at the service joint..

It just refracts light, completely oblivious to anything resembling 'focused'.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and try swapping bulbs left/right to see if that does anything (doubtful) but it totally sucks to drive in the dark hours..

I'll try to get a picture tonight of the light pattern, so y'all can see I'm not completely crazy..

Try just changing the bulbs first. Scientific Method: only change one variable at a time. (HS science class) If it is the correct bulb, I notice the orientation keys LOOK LIKE it could be rotated... I don't think it can unless something has been altered or damaged. The filiment must be horrizontal. I'm interested to solve this.

OK... so I replaced my headlights this evening. Here's what they look like on the passenger side.[ATTACH]4774[/ATTACH][ATTACH]4776[/ATTACH]The left one with the red ring is the one that I took out. Right one is the new Sylvania ultra.This is a shot with the right one being the new bulb, the left one being the original.[ATTACH]4775[/ATTACH]Here are the ones in the driver side you'll notice that the original one was different than the passenger one.[ATTACH]4777[/ATTACH]Here are both new headlights in. Granted, it's not very dark right now so I'll take another picture later.[ATTACH]4778[/ATTACH]Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

The beams look properly focused now. I think you'll be happy. It's hard to be sure but photo 2 looks like the filaments are orientated differently, even though the key ways appear to be similar angles. A moot point...
