Headlight pattern

Just installed silverstars in my 04, however the beam patterns do not match evenly on the ground

Where the lightbeam ends on the ground, one ends looking "sharp"(looks like an exacto knife) where the other ends looking straight(like an end of a ruler)...

I went back, took them out to make sure they were installed properly and it didnt solve the prob. Which one is it suppose to look like? I didnt notice what the pattern was w/ my previous bulbs, but im pretty sure they were even.

Which one is it suppose to look like?

Thanks!

Awkward request, but would someone with either Silverstars, or stock 2004 bulbs/headlights check to see what their pattern looks like.

The most recognizable (and how i noticed) way to see the beam pattern, was when I had the car parked on a slanted driveway, front slanting down towards the street...

It maybe that the aim may be off? But i'm not sure which one is the correct one...

Thanks!

Cool, thanks if you can do that!

I thinkt he best way, if you have a digital camera is to turn the flash off, and the camera will compensate for the darkness thru longer exposure or what not...

I'll try and take some myself and post them up..
