I just installed MyCarr AngelEye. I notice on the driver side, the eye around the low beam is brighter than the high beam eye.
The passenger side, both eyes seems to have the same brightness.
On the driver side, when I tilt the bulb a bit i notice I can make the two eyes have the same brightness, but I cant secure it so it stays like that..

Any input people?? Thanks

Hmm.. I'll try secure it more in the housing, I'm quite sure its as flush as possible though. All three "tabs" are securely in place and in the right order (One square, two tilted). I even tried swapping bulbs, but the same side still has one eye brighter.
