Default Bad projector?

It seems I may have a bad project on my drivers side. I've noticed a may be a small blank/yellow spot in the output. After checking out this thread I figure thats my problem.
Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem?
Phillips 4300k

Are you sure that the return wire on the HID bulb is at the bottom? If you have the wire facing the top of the projector, you will get that shadow

Thats the way it is. You have to remember that our head lamps are non HID, so the beam pattern is different. I have the same problem.

This is the yellow patch that he is talking about, not the pattern on the wall



I never had that yellow streak on the bottom





The return wire is the blue wire runnign along the HID bulb




This is now my new beam pattern with my OEM JDM HID



And this is how even the light is on the ground

The return wire should facing the bottom of the projector, otherwise, it will cause a shadow in the light output
