Crooked projector headlights??
I bought a set of new projector headlights off of eBay (yes, I know it's the cheap route but in my defense I only drive a used 2006 325i) and they look great, but they kinda have a crooked V light projection to them. Other than the low beam error and crooked light projection, they look great.
I just wonder if this is how they're supposed to look for some reason, or if mine are messed up and I should return them. The pic I uploaded is of my lights shining on my garage door. It's only about ten feet from the car, but you kinda get the idea. |

That's normal. It's the cut off so it won't blind drivers. On the oem headlights, there is a switch that will make it go the other way (for right hand drive vehicles/people who drive on the left side of road).

The angled cutoff began in Europe. It is like that to illuminate road signs on the side of the road. As stated in the above post, they are reversed in country's that drive on the left side of the road.
