Default People with vland headlights

I am having negative results with the vland headlights. I am having trouble seeing to the left or right side of the street . The light beam is focused at the cetner of the street. For example it is hard to make a hard right and am woried im going to jump a curb. Second,the i can see the cut-off line bounce all over the place and its annoying to me. i have adjusted driver and passerger side already.

There is a left and right adjustment, but you can't access it while it is installed. you have to remove the assembly and turn it. It's a bit of pain, but it is doable. When I first installed mine, the passenger side headlight was aimed a little too far to the left. It took a few tries to get it adjusted back out so that the right side of the road was illuminated sufficiently. I can see what you mean by feeling like you might hit something during a turn, I get a little bit of that when turning into my driveway (which is really dark and there a ditch on either side). I've found that turning the fog lights on, helps a lot. The beam bouncing is not really anything to do with the headlights (unless it's bouncing while not moving), but more so just the characteristics of LEDs. The bouncing is caused by the movement of the vehicle suspension while driving. There's really not much you can do about it. Halogen and HID headlights do the same thing, but it's not as noticeable since the light is spread out so far. With LEDs the light is pretty much concentrated to where the bulb is focused, which is why there's a noticeable cut off line.

The more noticeable light bouncing is due to a sharp cut off of light. It's due to the clear lens, not LEDs. You can swap out the clear lens for a Fresnel or dimpled lens.
