Default Ah, mine is solid in that space. Get it on a garage door or some other flat surface for reference...
Are these lights new? Maybe dirt/condensation?

Default Did you put the bulb in upside down?
There is a specific orientation of the bulb in the housing. If you install it upside down, it will look fuzzy...

Default you'd think, but many people have done this. i think the beam pattern is way more wacky then
that when it happens, though.
