I got my car back from the dealer after installing the JDM lamps and they did'nt adjust my HID's correctly. Is it possible someone could post a pic of the beam pattern on a wall? Thanks.

 

drivers side is supposed to be lower then the passenger side.... however if you got authentic jdm headlights it would be the opposite.... your's should be drivers side higher then passenger side...

 

it is never going to be 100% correct.....

usdm headlights pattern looks like this........


............../```````````

to keep from blinding oncoming traffic

it would be the opposite on your lights because they drive on the other side of the road.....

you should be able to get it somewhat better though......

 

it tells you how to adjust in the manual

 

Posting pics.....damn this sucks. Oz do joo know how to adjust the beams? I've been doing it for like an hour and want to throw things across the room.



Trust me guys....it does'nt look right at all.

Teaser pics of the lamps and the new hood. I'll post pics of everything tommorrow when Oz helps me with my Craft Square mirrors.

 

damn those pics came out HUGE.....sorry guys these pics don't show what i'm talking about...i'll go take some more. I'll be back.

 

the service manual shows how to adjust it. if you don't have one, let me know and i will type it here

 

Someone posted the manual instructions ealier, I just cant grasp it. I'm just gonna buy some OEM ones.My frustration has gone through the roof.

 

headlights can be adjusted vertically, how hard would that be. if you know some local owners, have one stop by. put both cars against the wall and align that way

 

Thats why I wanted a pic of someone elses beam pattern. You would'nt believe what my beam pattern looks like now.

I do understand that the drivers side beam will be higher, but I LOST the "wide" beam pattern that the light originally had. It looks bad.

 

According to the ^^^ pictures, it looks pretty close.

 

That was my question, are there supposed to be two lil humps in the beam.....or just one? Do you also see the lighter line just above where the hump is? I want that crisp line like when I bought it.

 

Two humps bro. Mine has two.

 

Do you see the lighter line?

Well I am a COMPLETE TOOL and moved the far right hump to be even with the left one, hence the reason my beam was'nt wide as it was before.
I deserve what ever you guys throw at me.....

The lighter line is supposed to be the remnants of the other side's cut off. Each side has a distinctive cutoff line, and a lighter one below that. Do you see both?

Like I said, it looks close to mine, but it also looks like youre on a driveway, which is slightly inclined. It says aim the headlights on level ground.

 

As bonged out of my mind as I am, that made sense and I see what needs to be done. thanks for being up Sideways, I owe you a beer, or a bong.
I aimed em on level ground, I just needed that for a reference pic.

 

No beer thanks, enough drinking for the night. Hahhahahahhahahahaha I work better bonged.

As far as your headlights man, it might need just a little adjustment, height wise. I already see the distinctive "double hump", there's supposed to be that lighter line where the two humps cross anyways.
