RD LED Brightness

I installed my RD LEDs a couple of weeks ago and went driving last night and my cousin (who was driving in the car in front of me) pointed out that my outer rings were dimmer than the inner rings. I have searched the forums and found that most pics people post of their RD LEDs have both rings equally lit. Is it just the way they take pics or did I mess up the installation? Thanks for the help.

in the e92s, the inner rings tend to be brighter than the outer due to how the light is pointed. in the inner ring, the light is pointed straight forward from behind whereas the outer ring the light is pointed up at te rings from under

Most advertising pics will show the rings lit up from straight on. That is the only time they'll appear to be of equal brightness.
