Hey,

Searched for a bit and couldn't find anything specifically related to my problem...
I just bought some new gen 4 ccfl halo's and put some sylvania H1 (apparently very bright) bulbs in the low and high beams.

Anyways, on the low beams i cant see anything past like...10 yards in front of me...they are much worse than my older headlights and older bulbs and there seems to be a weird cut off that would affect this.

Any help/advice?

 

are they upside down

 

If this is a serious reply...what would be upside down...?

 

the bulbs

or have u tried to aim them?

 

I'll try aiming them tomorrow i suppose, though i'm not sure how i'll accomplish that.
And the bulbs pretty much only go on one certain way so i don't think i messed that up...

 

i would try to aim them then on stock lights there is just a screw u mess with to aim them idk how the gen 4s are ...

 

i thought the Gen4s didn't have Halos... but I say jus aim em up a lil bit an see if that helps.. I remember I got some silvania silver star ones(somethin like that) a couple months after I had first got my car an i had the same problems so I jus put the stock ones back in

 

my gen 4's are the same you cant see s*** in front of you ive tryed angling them but youll get used to it

 

These are the ones i have :



And i literally cannot drive with only the low beams, its terrible lol.

 

i believe those are gen 1's. not sure though. is it the right bulb? also try aiming them like heath said. theres 2 screws on the back that you turn to adjust it

 

not gen4's bud

 

Gen 4 lights have no halos and they use H7 bulbs anyway. The actual headlights pictured above are gen 3 lights but they only come with LED halos unless they've been modded. Gen 3s use H1 bulbs. Sometimes it's a bit hard to get the bulb seated properly on gen 3s because the bulb opening is a bit tight so the bulb doesn't go in all the way. Try checking the bulb and the hole and make sure the bulb is inserted fully. If the source of light within the projector is in the wrong spot it won't focus the light worth a crap and you won't see anything beyond the nose of your car. If the bulb doesn't go in all the way even a little you may have to file down the opening so that it gives the bulb enough clearance.

 

Oh **** my bad then, thought those were Gen 4's
There are too many its confusing.

I'll check everything tomorrow and get back, thanks for everyone's input!
