HID's Installed = Question?
HID's Installed = Question?
I installed the HID's in my projectors and I think got them aimed. Somebody who has done this let me know if it looks right. They look a little high on the garage door, but i think that it is because my driveway is on a small incline. Anyway all I want to know is if my cutoff looks right.
I went with Uneek's kit, 8k's. I took the picture before it was completely dark outside and since I can't figure out how to shut off the flash on my camera it also went off. They actually look a lot brighter in person and compared to the stock lights there at least 2x brighter, everything along the road is much more clear than before as well. I kinda wish I'd gone with 6k's but these are brighter than I expected so no regrets.
You should aim them like this:
- From 25' away, draw a horizontal line even with the center of your lights. Then draw a parallel line 3" below that line.
- Now draw a vertical line directly in front of the center of each light.
- Aim the lower corner of each z-pattern to hit the intersection of the 3" low horizontal line and the vertical line for each respective light.
That's it. So your wall would look something like this:
Not true at all. The z-pattern accounts for that.

Yours look close... but each beam should be aimed straight forward, not inward. I've heard also that you can aim 3" right of that vertical center line. Either way, you're pretty close.
