hey guys i just got my depo gen 4 projectors today and installed them, they seem to be a very good piece and are of good quality
my question is how do you aim them bc they seem to be pointing straight down iv tried turning the knob on the back of the light but it doesnt seem to be doing anything

ugg this forum is usless some times lol can never get anyhelp

 

thats probably because not alot of people have the gen 4 projectors... lol
but if its anything like the gen 2, which i have, you aim em using that lil circular knob at the top of the headlight. you can see it when you open the hood. just turn and figure out which way moves up or down.

 

Or maybe just not a lot of people have gen 4s yet. I should be getting mine soon enough though. Hope someone w/the new gens can help.

 

hahaha sorry guys i was getting impaitient
how much should i have to turn the wheel i feel like iv done at least 1/2 a turn and the light hasnt moved at all which is why i was confused i have it parked 20 ft from my garage and i turned it for a good 2 min and it did nothing is it a very small change or is it broken ??both lights iv tried and i cant seem to get a change

 

well having it that far from the garage might not be as noticeable as if you had it like 5ft away.
usually with my lights, depending on how much i wanna move em up or down, it takes like 4 full turns to notice anything.

 

oh ok that makes alot more sense then guess im gonna pull the light out and do it
guess i was expecting something more drastic
thank you ill let you know how it goes haha

thanks for the help guys after a few drives and blinding a few ppl i got them almost perfect
and everyone loves them

 

You have to turn that knob a lot to get the light to move. Mine were pointed straight down too. I brought them back up to what I thought was a good level, but ended up being too high, so I drove to a nearby school and used their walls to get the back down. Turning the knobs clockwise will bring the light up, counterclockwise goes the other way. Half a turn however will do jack lol.

 

Can anyone tell me which wire is ground on the projector... is it grey? I am trying to hook the HID's up and i have to strip those wires and connect them to my HID's.

 

my cutoff seems to be like pretty close to perfect right out of the box.
im guna adjust it a little tho i think

 

yea mine still need a little more adjusting and i was expecting a more dramatic change from turning the wheel in the back but i find that these lights dont fit quite as well as the stockers did (insert comment about how cheap i am here) and are a pita to get out lol which makes aiming them a bitch lol
but overall they look freakin sweet and are definitally worth the money

 

Mine fit fine it's just the tabs on the bottom of the light will actually catch the slots better than the other lights do so you have to pull them forward a bit more to get them to let go. Other than that it's just like any other light.

You have to remember that the adjustment knob is basically just one long screw that's connected to the light assembly on the inside. That's a lot of threads to use to get the light to move hence why you have to turn the knob a lot. Ever have to take a screw out of something and the threads were so small that it seemed to take forever? Same thing here.

 

Question, is this long screw visible thru the outside or would you have to get the headlight out, or would you have to take the assembly completely apart. I wanna see how much higher i can aim my stock headlights. Thanks

 

I had to turn mine a ton of times to get it aimed properly.

Following what i've heard before I parked 25 feet from a wall (on a flat surface) measured headlight to ground, marked that on the wall and put a line about 2.5" down from that and thats about where you want the cutoff. Mine were wayyyy in the ground out of the box, but the cutoff line is clean with minimal hot spots!

I'm very impressed!

EDIT: I did it when they were on the car, its the screw/circular gear looking thing in the back of the light. Kinda a pain to do when on the car but better to aim that way!

And I thought these fit extremlllyyy well! Had no issues with fitment or aiming, just took quite a few turns out of the box.

 

The aiming hardware is basically all internal, you'd have to dismantle the headlight to see anything.

 

^^ i hate this

 

does anyone have a picture to what a good height or cut off is and from how far away u need to be from a wall to adjust them?

 

Good to know. I just ordered some.

 

Theres something on HID Planet I think it is. I think you pull about 20 feet from a wall. Measure the height from the ground to your headlight. Go to the wall and mark that measure and go down about 3 inches I think (somewhere around there). Try to have the cutoff at that mark I think. Im pretty sure its something like that

 

just put mine on and i had this problem. tomoro when i can see what im doing i can adjust them. thanks for all the help guys
