Hid retrofit: does the light output look right?
I have s2k projectors in my headlights, which came retrofitted in headlights i bought, with ddm tuning hid kit 55w
Tonight is the first time i fired em up and I had no clue how to aim them do i just use the factory phillips screwdriver aimer things?
Sorry for the crappy pictures but can you tell what needs to be changed in the aiming and does the cutoff look right? Does the beam pattern look ok? It seems to look a bit sloppy to me for some reason compared to other peoples retrofit pictures...
I have no idea who retrofitted these so they might have done a bad job... If better pictures are necessary let me know please took them with my phone.

Re: Hid retrofit: does the light output look right?
one of 2 things are going on here. the first being that you are using aftermarket bulbs with a bad arc placement. the spread should be even throughout, but you have SOME spread right up front and pencil beams going out. the second is that they are not s2k projectors. see the pic above, the cutoff should be sharp, where you have flares at the center hotspot. see if you can get some shots of the back of the projector so we can see what you have. from the output shots, it looks like they are halogen projectors with a hid capsule inside. do you know what size bulbs are in? if they are anything other than d2s and they fit, they arent s2k's
