Are they bolted evenly or is the beam forming an X style output?

Only thing I can thing of if everything is straight is the bulb might not be sitting straight or your light is defective... keep the look up for the 06+ lamps those are the best you can put on a z. Contact the vendor and let them know the issue. It'd ruin my night everytime id turn them on and saw that horseshoe light
