Retrofit Question
Hi. I have a '94 Accord with OEM headlights. My brother just did a retrofit with TSX projectors on his '97 Accord. The output on one headlight is fine but the other has a messed up beam pattern. What could be the problem? I read somewhere that it could be the sitting of the bulb but it looks really messed up (compared to a picture i saw and what people mentioned). the output is really concentrated in the middle and goes crazy high on the left of the beam pattern. The projector, on the right (passenger), is the one im talking about. The left is higher than the right and it doesn't even glare when looking at it.
Any ideas?
I want to do the same but what do you guys suggest? One of them is slightly tilted in the horizontal. What can i do to fix that? Also, the light was basically on the floor the 1st time. He had to tilt the headlight all the way up to get it up. What can i do to fix that in the very beginning?
Do the 3 lines on the lense of the housing be the ones affecting the light?
Also heard that because they are aftermarket bulbs that it might not be very good. But one does work quite well.. What is wrong with the other?
Sorry so many questions. lol.
Anyone got a good DIY to look at, that isn't from HID planet? I tried to register but i never got the email to verify.
I was looking at:
-ebay TSX projectors (about $100-130)
-philips bulbs (retrofitsource) and use my old aftermarket ballasts (xenith xenon)
-D2S adaptors (retrofitsource or ebay)
-no covering or w/e.. dont care.
-brother used aluminum tape to cover up the whole in the back of the housing + projector?
any ideas.. thanks.
