about a month ago i bought the ccfl halo projector headlights from modern performance and i posted the link below. i got them with the upgraded nokya 80w arctic white light bulbs. the problem is that my low beams seem extremely dim/low visibility. i expected them to be nice and bright but it seems like they are pointed too low to the ground or something and my visibility is very low. anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!

Aim them.

 

I have the chrome ones with Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra's.
Def need to aim them up and its a little better, not the best lighting I had.
Think we need to put hid's in them ????????

 

I have the same one's (in chrome). I think this brand comes pre-aimed. I haven't had any problems with them. Did drive around with the halogens that they came with and they were alright. Then my 6k HID's came an hour later. .

Your honest options are to get new halogens or HID's.

 

Mine came pre-aimed too but they were still pointed a little low. My cut offs were and about 20 feet in front of me so I had to adjust them a bit. Try that or get hids and aim those too.

 

Not trying to thread jack, but how did you aim them?

 

On the back of the headlight assembly there are two nuts on either side of the low beam. Those are the adjustment screws. The one on the outside closest to the blinker bulb adjusts up and down and the other adjusts left and right.

 

Ive never heard of aftermarket ebay lights coming aimed.

 

ohh ok...yea they just seem like they are aimed super low to me. i cant see far in front of me AT ALL. so are my low beams adjustable to where i can aim them higher? if so...that would help a ton.

 

Yeah te low beams are adjustable. Just find a flat surface with a wall at one end. Move the car 25' away from the wall. Measure the height to the center of the low beam projector. Mark that height on the wall then measure about 2.25" lower then the original mark and line the cutoff to the lower mark. Easy as cake.

 

Mine seemed aimed better than the 2nd gens I had. Bought my 3rd gens from JM Auto Racing.

 

Doesnt matter where there purchased. There all made at the same factory in china. Thats all.

 

Aren't all gen 3s made by sonar or whatever?

 

cool i appreciate the help man! how do i adjust them upward? i assume take the headlight out and then theres a couple screws on the back near the low beam?

 

I can't remember of its clockwise or counterclockwise but I know the nut closest to the blinker is the one that adjusts up and down.

 

ok cool thanks for the help man i appreciate it!

 

Time for me to do the following.

1) wait for warm weather.
2) adjust headlights again.

 

if anyone has a pic of which screws are the ones that adjust the low beams up and down on my ccfl halo projectors i would greatly appreciate it! idk which ones adjust them up/down
