I just need some confirmation (and to know I'm not crazy) that this is not normal.

These are Gen 4 projectors on my 08 SS. Ilve tried switching bulbs and ballsts, and I even took the drivers headlight to the passenger side and that yellow hue follows it. I just want to make sure there are people who have normal cutoffs with gen 4's lol.

 

Welcome to the world of shitty jdm cheaply made not true projector, projectors

 

Yeah that was my 2nd set. But it doesn't seem that many people have this problem so its weird

 

Haha wow, that looks like ****.

Are they HID-specific projectors or halogen? If they're made for halogen bulbs and you throw HID's into them you will get that effect.

 

Well I mean there projector headlights, the new gen 4's, so I assume there made for hids.
I've seen other owners with them who's are fine

 

Not necessarily. The cutoff he is getting is created by a bend in the shield or a dent in the projector near the lens.

It's not uncommon for Retro Fitters to purposely bend the shield or add washers between the lens and the projector housing to create a more colorful cutoff line.

 

Non HID projectors have a fuzzy cutoff when used with HID.

 

Just a heads up my gen4s came in and I have the same issue.

 

How is it a heads up when he already posted this as being an issue?

 

i lol'd

 

That's what happens when you assume. My gen4's work flawlessly...with halogen bulbs in them....because they are halogen projectors.

 

You have gen 4's huh? Olmsted falls isn't that far away

 

Lol nope not at all. You can take a good look at them when we meet up to go to the...ehh...err...meet

 

I was thinkin more of the good look that you wake up one morning with black housing stockers and I wake up with gen 4's

 

I was simply confirming this as an issue and not an isolated incident.
