That is the way projector lights work.
There is no bleed over at the edge of the light.
It is basically a focused beam of light.

Angel Eye Projector Lights Problem
Hey all,
I put in some black angel eye projector lights about 2 months ago. They seem to be adjusted properly, but when I'm driving down the road, I see a line along a treeline or house where the light just stops. Are they still too low? Or do I have them set wrong?
Thanks

Ah! I see
Thank you for your answer!:bigthumbsup
I too have a line across the top. I believe it's perfectly normal. Helps keep the directed light out of people's mirrors before you pass them is what I figure.
As for setting them up, here's what I found out the hard way:
The lone adjuster (close to the edge of the light - nearer to the rad) pulls them in or moves them out and the other one (closer to the side of the car) moves them up and down. The trick is to get the bottom one closer to the side set to the correct length first, then slide them in and adjust from there. I used a long set of pliers to turn the adjustment screws. Takes a while but it dos the job. They are a real PITA to get in but once there, they are worth it.
As a side note for anyone needing the info, I actually broke one of the bottom unadjustable pegs right off while installing on my 94 GT. The whole plastic support cracked off. J-B Weld got it back on and she's been holding tight ever since. Use the black stuff that takes 4 hours to set. You'll want the extra strength just to make sure. Also, I had to "adjust" the length of the supports (in the light housing on the car) that the black square supports slide on. They were too long and wouldn't allow the lights to go all the way back.
Sorry, I didn't take pics and I just can't bring myself to open her up again until I have to. That 10 minutes after I cracked the support off and I was putting the stock back on was the worst of my life. When I went to install the second time I completely forgot.
