Installed the AUXITO 9005 LED bulbs on my SC today. The beam pattern when the running lights are on, looks pretty straight and symetrical. When the brights are on, it looks like only the left brights are working, according to the beam pattern. However, when standing in front of the vehicle, the brights on both sides activate.

running lights :
Vehicle Grille Automotive lighting Hood Automotive tire


brights :
Automotive parking light Automotive lighting Vehicle Hood Automotive design


Both LED bulbs were installed in the correct way (from what I can tell) sitting upright with the bottom of the bulb at 6'oclock position.

Did I do this correctly, or is something wrong? Any ideas? See photos. Thank you.

Hey all - I am confused and clearly misunderstanding something. When I flash my high beams, why is the left side lit up more than the right side? The beam is going up and to the left. Where on the right, I really can't tell any difference between the low beams and high beams, despite the fixture's high beams actually working.

On any other vehicle I've owned, when running my high beams, or what I may have called my "brights" - both sides illuminate equally. That is the issue here - the low beam pattern looks comparable to other posters on this forum and look fine to me. Both bulbs are in the same exact position in the housing on left and right.

Thank you for your help.

What helped me with this is installing the bulbs while they are "on" (I know---be careful!) And having the vehicle parked up close to a wall or garage door. Then you will see your adjustment and beam pattern immediately.
That is what the photos above are showing with the LED headlights installed the way they are supposed to be with the LED's facing 3 oclock and 9 oclock.
