No. The reflector bowl should have no effect on the light if using a projector. The projector should control all of the light output by itself. If the light coming out of the projector is hitting the reflector bowl then the projector may need to be moved out more to allow it to do its job.

And since there's not really a way to do that with the base of the projector barely getting through the hole, the alternative that people do is paint the reflectors in order to cancel out the light being thrown all over the place.

I'm guessing it's really bad on the right projector because the kick up is to the left instead of to the right like it should be, while also reflecting off that side of the bowl and getting thrown back to the right. Hence my problem with the ground directly in front of the car to the right being lit.

LOL, I know that. I was just saying that if the light from the projector was hitting the reflector bowl, shouldn't it throw the light back to the regular orientation as stock?
