need picture of headlight beam

Hi Guys,

Would anyone be able to do me a favor and take a photo of their stock headlight beam on the road and against a wall at night? Both of my headlights were replaced with aftermarket units after a small accident and the beam pattern is complete messed up to a point that some parts of the road are unlit. Currently going back and forth with Insurance as the shop is saying they need to buy oem headlights to fix this issue (when i took the car back to them, they manually moved the bulb around to a point where the beam pattern looked much better but they said this how it is when the bulb is seated in the unit properly.

headlight beams need to be aimed at 25 feet from a wall, so please try and get another picture so we can see what we're working with here. 2 things could be at play: headlight improperly seated or just a bad projector bulb but without additional pictures at the proper distance, hard to say.
