The directional problems may be caused by poor grounds. You need
to check all of the light grounds and make certain that they are clean
& tight. No corrosion or paint between the wire eyelet & the metal.
You can use light sand paper to clean the corrosion/paint. Also be
sure that you have the correct bulbs in the sockets. People have
been known to "make" a single filament bulb fit in a dual filament
socket - and vice-versa.
