Strange Beam pattern after 6000k ultinon d2r installation

Driving around at night with my ultinons, I noticed that the beam pattern looked sort of weird on the road. I'm very tired and I don't know if I'm seeing things but, the beams spread in a sort of zebra pattern from behind the wheel, uhm i'm bad at descriptions but thats about it.

Which headlights do you have and what bulbs are you using (i.e. d2s or d2r)?

Your bulb might not be seated perfectly in the bulb clips...

Yeah...I need to find out how to align my headlight too.

Right now it seems like they are pointed too low. I look at other G's driving on the road and see there headlights pointing higher--->hitting half of the trunk of the car in front of them. mine only hit half of the bumper and the rest on the ground. I would like to move them a little higher, just enough not to blind anyone.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Peace. 1.

I think you notice the beam patter more because the output is not as bright as the oem bulbs. I noticed the same thing when i had the ultinons on my 05 headlights.
