Default Headlamp beam pattern incorrect.

I have attached an image of my current light beam pattern. Failed the IVA because of the blur around the flick up.
MX5 loom, headlamps from CBS, replaced the bulbs. Any ideas what could be causing the blur?

Mm I'm not sure but are both light images the same n/ and o/s ? On projected image there are only 3 variables ,1 lenses or 2 bulbs or 3 reflectors
I ware the light units a pair ? As if there is a blur I would suspect the lens
What size lights I have a spare 7" lens unit if required

I have pretty much ripped the wiring appart and checked all earths to rule that out, changed the bulbs and now thinking lens as well.

Thank you, appreciated. I will let you know what difference it makes to the pattern once it is fitted.
