Angel eyes whit LED's picture's

I have been wondering do every 1er owner which have LED angel eyes, do your LED angel eyes cause diffused light to the inner side lamp.
Like this. (10 W H8)


I know that inner is and should be brighter but is it normal that there is so much diffused light whit it or have i assembly H8 led wrong side. I didn't notice anywhere is there side marking.

The diffused light is the nature of the housing (the inner light is a reflector design, the outer is similar to a fiber optic). I just switched over yesterday to the BMS 4 led.

My headlight inner part do not have that kind of class or plastic lense what you can see on Bryan@Jlevi SW picture. i can see straight in so i can see H8 bulb. My 1er has xenon lights outer lights but inner lights are halogen. Bryan's car i assume that you have adaptive xenon lights (inner and outer whit xenon)

No there is also lense under which H3 halogen sits which turns on when you turning steering. Those both have same designed angels

Very confused ! i didn't get this.

How many has "fifled" lense in inner lights? take a look Bryans picture above.

I did check closer my 1er headlights and i have lense on it but it is bright and lights are bi-xenon (short and high lights are xenon)
Inner light has only one bulb and it is for angel eyes (orginal H8 halogen). When i have bright lense in inner part of headlight this H8 LED bulb causes diffused light outwards. I know that reflection surface's in inner light causes this diffused light but what is point of this bright lense.?

Do somebody know is there more information somewhere of 1 er light options.
