keep in mind that if your viewing from in the car then the beam pattern is not exactly the same for both left or right.

 

wow ppl here ansewer fast

thx

 

And you can adjust the horizontal and vertical aim of each light pod with a screwdriver, it's in the owner's manual i think too...assuming other tricks don't work.

 

thx for help but i just went down and put the rubber on the bulb.....butbut it didnt help
and for the headlights adjustment i think it's not neccessory coz it's in perfect position. after i put the rubber i just need a liitle bit more to make it even. i dont wanna drive my car while i have use my finger to push down the bulb.

is it becoz driver side, higher makes it better ?
please help me. it looks ugly like that

anyone ?

 

I also put the old rubber rings on them and they still wiggled a bit. u have to make sure the rubber ring doesn't come off while inserting the bulb back in the housing.

After that, i still had to adjust my headlights...i only changed the height of the beams, not the direction(left/right). I used an 8mm wrench instead of a screwdriver b/c the screwdriver started eating into the plastic.

 

I used a screw driver to adjust my headlights too. I think acura is pretty stupid for making it plastic.

 

Yeah just use a phillips head screwdriver to adjust the angle of the beam. I did the same for my R cause they were aimed to low...could barely see 15 feet ahead of the car.

I strip the plastic each time i adjust it, too, but I don't do it offend so it won't be too bad.

PS make sure you don't adjust too high, blinding the opposing traffic...i hate really bright beams from opposing traffic.

Hmmm,

Another HID dilemma....

This is how I have my "final" setup due to problems, blah blah blah.

No rubber piece from old bulbs on new bulbs for the HID's.

Pulled the rubber cover on each headlight side out and inserted the HID bulb connected to the ballast connector. Took out my hot glue gun with "black" glue (the kind that withstands high heat) and glued around the bulb/ballast connector. Nice firm fit. The rubber pieces are then outward covering the ballast connector and zip tied around.

Will post pictures if people want.

The "black" hot glue stick is stronger than the clear and avoids issues. Can simply pull hard and peel away if needed (a bitch to do, but works).
