Oh I completely agree! And to think I’ve had these for over a year and just now noticed they were jacked up. Fog isn’t common here so it pissed me off to see what was really going on. I really don’t want to revert back to factory because the whole reason behind switching was the black bezel/housing.

So what if they're crossed? The question is, can you see well driving down the road? Maybe put some washers as spacers to change the angle.

I've got LED bulbs in aftermarket housings.. They're crossed but light up the road great.

The cheap halogen assemblies tend to be made with extremely low quality and have the cross issue because the reflectors are not good.

Yeah, it’s frustrating to know this has been the issue all along and that I’ve been naive to it for so long. As first I thought it was just simple alignment issue but oh well.
