You willbblind people otherwise.agreed, you will get flashed alot if you dont adjust them, would hate to blind a copper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You willbblind people otherwise.will see how they go come dark tonight, but the bulbs looked damn close.where the hid lights from (not exactly a filament, but yeah, anyway) has a shield on the lower 180deg, just like the H4. it also appears to be mighty close to the same distance from the mounting part of the light. when you switch over to high beams, to prevent having to have the bulb warm up again, the bulb moves back about 5-10mm, into the same spot that the second filament is located on the original H4 bulbs.hoping they don't annoy everyone, but time will tell...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,915 Member For: 16y 6m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/04/13 09:23 AM Share Posted 20/04/13 09:23 AM Yeah, I've installed heaps of HID's in B and F series falcons. Every single time you had to re-aim the headlights down, as they end up slightly higher without any adjustment at all. I know all about the shielding and the highbeam solenoid movement Those relays and ground points rust if you don't isolate them well.It's not too hard to adjust. Just get somebody with correctly adjusted (standard) globe positions, a relatively new car is preferable with this, and compare facing a wall on level ground at an even distance from the wall. Find the "bright spot" on the other persons headlights, match the bright spot of your headlights against that.Personally, I put HID's just a touch below stock headlight height as HID's are so much brighter and reach further than halogens by default. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
