Aftermarket Headlight Aiming

[runner4life]

Thought Id start a thread to see how to adjust aftermarket headlights. They are projector lights and the aim on them is terrible. Also the lights seem like that have different points of focus. Is weird.

Any ideas?

I'd also like to know how to aim the new headlights I just got, as I just received all the parts I need for it to work.

Mine seem to be fine straight out of the box & into the car. The only thing that concerns me is that the fit in one of them RHS is not that good & there is a bit of a gap. I would like to know how to adjust that?

[runner4life]

Id like to know how to bring them up. I see the adjuster opening,..but rotating it does nothing. And i wish the light was a solid light not all broken up and brighter in spots

Tried adjusting the the lights and had the same results as you folks..

Also, I thought I was the only one with inconsistent light beam... but maybe that's cuz I'm using D2R bulbs..

[runner4life]

Im using d2s and there still inconsistent. I drive a Holden Omega hint hint hint at what i do....for work and those lights light up the street like the bloody sun!

[interfooler]

So, did anyone manage to get their headlights aim correctly?

Runner4life maybe you should defect yourself? :-)

[runner4life]

Never! Nothing to defect

Got mine to work (sedan) I was turning the left to right adjuster not up and down -.- silly me

[runner4life]

HOW!!??

[Kolossus]

just spun the adjusting bolt until it was at a good height instead of pointing at the ground lol

[runner4life]

Which one is it? do you have to take the lights out?

The cutt offs in these lights should be as good as this...http://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/271540-super-quad-projector-retrofit-ii-hyper-lighting-many-pics.html?ref=esp-link

I really want them to work, and i hate the inconsistency on my right light.

I only had to do my high beams, lows were fine. Yes i had to take them out to adjust as i am not A) Tiny or B) made of elastic. And the bolt should have in the plastic near it a marking saying U<-->D with what direction to turn the bolt. I also suggest changing out all the bulbs as I found the ones that came in these aftermarket units to be not so good (passenger side high beam globe needed persuasion to come on(a bump or smack) and blew the passenger side indicator already)

Found the adjuster for upper/lower. It is the one at the bottom not the top. You have to use a phillip screwdriver to adjust it, not a flat head, and you can't adjust it through the opening because of the knob doesn't have teeth! This sucks!

[runner4life]

Gahhh, I can't take mine out again!! just takes too long! and what do i do about the consistency of the globe? it should be a beautiful even light!

Also the top bolt plastic bit is almost sheered off
