My new oracle lights are putting out an uneven pattern? Is this unusual? It appears to be coming from both bulbs (still there when I block one). Very Defined on hard surface .

Yes, that is what is referred to as a DOT beam pattern, don't want to flood this thread with jargon but here is a simple explanation of why it looks that way.

That is by design. You set the lower driver side to be a cutoff that wont disrupt drivers, and the lower passenger to match the upper driver.

Gives you better side road lighting without getting into drivers face. Works well.

Thanks, lights work great I just don’t see that pattern on the wife’s OEM LED lights ( or at least not as noticeable )

most OEM lights don't have as clear of a "cutoff" as aftermarket lights. I've had my fair share of aftermarket lights and aside from a true HID retrofit in my old Duramax the oracles are the cleanest cutoff I've seen out of a box.
