i installed my projectors yesterday and the low beams are horrible. I mean i can barely see at night with the lows on. I guess i'm just going to have to drive around with the highs on all time.

 

No complaints with mine

 

ur also using 100 watt bulbs

 

do u think it dangerous to drive around with the highs on the projectors? i don't think they will really blind people since there more focused straight ahead and not outward.

 

Have a look at your car from a distance down a street with them on.

Good chance of getting a ticket for leaving them on.

The way the top of the low lens is "fogged" makes them look dim standing in front of the car. The lower side of the lens is clear, have a look up from below the height of the bumper and you will see how bright they really are.

 

the lows are really dim, plus you they point straight at the ground and you can't even adjust them, honestly i can barely see at night with them on

 

since when????

I use the stock lows and silverstars for high beam.. which are 55 watts

 

My lows don't point down that close...try the adjusting screws.

Mine have 3 around the low - two beside in middle of light and one under on fender side.

 

i would fear for your life if you drive around w/ your highs on all the time.

try adjusting your lows, they might be mis-aligned. can't really expect much from ebay projectors though.

 

The high beams are beastly on these projectors

I love when people flash their lights at me because they think I have my highs on, so i flash back at them, and they damn near go off the road

Good times

 

i've been flashed once since i got my tl. my bi-xenon projectors made him swerve a lil when i flashed him back.

 

how would i adjust them to point them up, when i installed them i tried screwing the screw all the way on the bottom of the lows.... If you screw the bolt clockwise that'll push it up correct?

 

my highs are perfect, but the lows are bad, they only light up the first 10 feet or so in front of the car.

 

park 20ft from a garage door and turn them on. then adjust them so they line up correctly.

try to make them look like this.

 

I have heard from just about everyone that have bought these lights trhat they do not come aimed . You have to do that yourself . Also I do believe you cant adjust them in the car . Shine the lights on a wall to get a guesstimate , take them out ....adjust , then re-install to see if the result . Repeat till its right . I could be wrong on the adjusters , but Ive read from a few that have them thats how you have to do it .

 

i've had no problems with mine.. and are bright.. you can always change the bulbs ... also do you have fog lights the stock fog lights are bright too

U can adjust them in the car. You are going to need a 10mm and a 3 inch extension for some but you can adjust them in the car. i adjustined mine and they are fine.

Thats good to know then . I was wondering why in the hell they would make you have to remove them to adjust them .

 

agreed. give it an adjustment, also, make sure that the bulbs are seated correctly... as far as i know, projectors are really not happy if the bulbs are not 100% perfect

 

Oh i forgot to mention, it is a major pain in the ass to adjust them in the car, if you have a friend with small hands have him do it. Thats what i did.

Can somebody take some pics of the e-bay projecters for me?...i'm considering them but i havent seen what there lightout put is like and what there cutoff beam is like.


ALSO
to who ever is sayin theres are dim...

Projecters are horibly sensitive to the bulb being seating in the houseing 100% correct.

also adjust them UP sounds like yours may be pointed down REAL REAL far.

 

ok heres some pics

Thanks!!!

looks like your low beams might be a little on the low side.....at least by the pic's

 

I have them.

I think they look great. I get loads of comments on them.

I feel I have the same light as 06lasersss/sc. I feel they are not as good as stock for low beam and the highbeam is as good if not better.

Adjusting them is hard keeping them on the car but I did get it done and I have large hands. I am going to set up 100W bulbs soon and try them as low beam and High beam. this will require relays, fuses and set a direct battery connection with minimum 14 guage wire. once I have results and pictures I will post.

 

nice cut off line but they seem a bit aimed too low. it would make a huge difference if you raise them a lil.
