Default Another flawed LED??

Hi all: I need some help from someone who owns a Harley LED headlight. If you look into the low-beam lens (the top one) do you see a rectangular opening with a slight dip along the bottom of the opening. Also, is the LED element (small yellow squares at back of the headlight) mostly covered up?

Thanks, Chris.

Same here. I can't see anything through the top low (or bottom) projector lense whan not lit, and only bright light when lit. Mine is a larger one for my street glide, but I believe the same type. Are both you rectangular "D" bulbs lit also? They should be on hi or lo.

I have mine sitting in my office currently. Bright lights make it easy to see. Could you use a flashlight. This is what the opening (hole through the chrome reflector) looks like on mine.
