Retrofit HID projectors, or i think you can move the globe deeper into the reflector.

And what do you mean by its spread out, but like having high beams on? High beams make the beam narrower and longer, not more spread out...

I run HID's and have not had any issues with the light spread. Similar to the stock halogens just brighter. I adjusted the aim of the headlight to dip a little bit lower than stock via the screw on the back of the headlight.

Think he means glare. There's no longer a cut off line.

To fix this problem, you need to reinstall the halogen globes. Your headlights were never designed to take HID globes.

hrmm i might haveta take a pic n show you fellas but its only a 4300k

strange enough (dunno if this is normal or not) but when i turn em hid on, the colour changes from a bluely to white :D

Retro fitting projectors from Euros provide awesome results from what i have seen on the net. I have just fitted some 8000k Xenon's in my R34 a few weeks ago, i'm happy with the result, i mean it's not as great as the light/dark cutoff line you get with euro projectors. But it is a huge upgrade over Halogens.

ah okay, mind pointing me in the right direction as to who can supply me these?

Decent projectors are hard to be found at a good price in Australia. Best to buy a set from overseas and convert them to suit Australian roads if possible. All that's need to be done to the projector is modify the shield. There's a few sites explaining how to do this.

For more information about retrofitting projectors which were designed to take HID globes, head over to HID planet. Have a read.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
