Hids aligment all over!

Post by Sharpy19 »

Well fitted some hids and the alignment of them is all over! the passenger side bulb projection is fairly higher than the drivers side thus making it look like one bulb is brighter than the other :(

is there any soloution to fix this?

There should be manual screw adjustments on the back of the headlights in order to adjust the height of the beam

That's what mine are like anyways

If you mean the beam is now scattered that's what happens when you put hid's in reflector lenses

Youll never get hids aligned perfect not in a reflector. Just go with it if you can see it's fine :p If you align then correctly it will still blind others so there's no point

I thought mine was like that, turned out to be a dodgy bulb or ballast or something
