Come on guys!? Nobody else who can say or show (photo) something about their beam pattern with Depo/FK/Hella xenonlook headlights (with or without xenon hid kit)?
Within two days I will receive normal 5000K H7 xenon bulbs, so I can swap them with my H7r bulbs, hoping it will give me a evenly spread beam, without dark spots...

Thanks. So you have the same shadow-stripes?
If so, it must be the ground return wire on the bulbs. It's in the wrong location.
Maybe we can do the ' 6 o'clock mod '?:
Example with a plastic socket (I have a steel socket)

Using a dremel?
Google '6 o'clock xenon mod'.
I' 80% sure this solves the weird beam pattern on these headlights.

Isn't that what these bulb adapters are for?

Those are for the standard headlights that have bulb holders.

I'm running Osram superbrights (65w) in the projector & MTec rainbow H&'s in the inner lamps - no shadows and no issues. Also quite a nice colour tint to the lamp too!

That's also an option. I also tried Dectane Xe.Ray superwhite bulbs. Color is good (like xenon) but the light output is nothing compared to a good 5000/6000K xenon set. Also the cut-off with xenons in the projectors is way better.
So that's why I want to keep my hid kit, but loose the shadows...
