whats up, i did the retrofit of oem audi HIDs into a denji... everything is installed fine and working but the cutoff seems to be inverted. its daytime so its hard to know for sure but it seems like the cutoff line is not allowing any light on the ground and shooting it all into the sky (or oncoming traffics eyes!) i have the cut-off shield with the

mounted like this, it seems to be right-side-up, but im not sure if the concaved glass projector lense inverts the image like a microscope, which means i would have to mount the metal cutoff shield up-side-down in order to get the proper cutoff. someone PLEASE help me with this, i need to drive 6 hours tonight and i need to get this fixed.. thanks

EDIT:****!!! my picture got fucked up when i posted it but hopefully someone who knows what they are talking about can still imagine it.

 

are you saying that's what it looks like? the left side is lower? if so that's how it should be.

 

ok, imagine this, the ground is dark, but the sky is light up, i have the shield in the projector lined up like that, does the lense reverse the image, if so i will need to put the cutoff shield upside down to get the ground light up.

 

ok. i took it off, opened the housing up, and reversed the projector... sure enough what i thought was correct, the lense inverts the light so in order to get a stepped cutoff, the metal sheild has to be upside down... though to explain but if somebody goes to tdo this mod he will know what i mean. peace

 

yep, shield always goes on bottom.
