Thats how it has been in all the other cars that I have put the ECE lamps in. I guess this is the oddball though.
From what I have found, it has to have more light in the center due to the lamp having the ability to rotate 15 degrees to work for both RHD and LHD. It would need equal amounts of light for both a right hand flare or a left hand flare. If the DOT lamp has the same cutoff shield as the ECE (I have tried) it would be downright dangerous to rotate the lamp because it creates a dim spot in front of the car.
This thread has got me thinking about modding the truck...
