I would like to ask again, because my light settings gave an unsatisfactory result. I've tried with a) 1 + 1 straight filament and b) 1 straight + 1 triangular tip.



With a) I have a fairly recognizable light elypse for low and high beam.
With b) the high beam is very unfocused.

There is also only a little difference when I try to adjust the focus. I have the best core when the light bulb is as close as possible to the front of the glass. But then the horizontal guidance of the frame is no longer effective.


Any ideas? (Perhaps I'm too exacting/fastidious between the ears?)
