I recently purchased a DDM Tuning Plus HID kit. Everything powers up, but the beam pattern is terrible. I initially installed the bulbs like I would a halogen, twist until you feel it lock into place without putting much thought into "clocking" the bulb. This produced an ok beam pattern on the driver's side, but a distorted pattern on the passenger side.
I then did a little more research and read that the return wire should be on the bottom. To achieve this, I had to turn the bulbs quite a bit in the housing, much more than I would a halogen bulb. Now I have a distorted pattern on the driver's side with a decent pattern on the passenger side, but the hot spot is directed closer to the ditch than in front. The color also seems different, with the driver's side appearing to be warmer and having a "cloud" around the beam.
Any ideas? This is my first time messing with aftermarket HID and I like to try some other options before requesting a return.
Thank in advance.
