So.....I got these things aimed pretty damn near perfect, cut off about an inch lower than the projector from 25 feet away.....
Now the problem is when driving it seems like the cutoff on the road is really close and ends too soon. I am going to re-check my aiming tonight, but has anyone had an issue once they were properly aimed? Also has anyone figured out the damn high beams yet? Mine are soo off that even messing with bolts to try to figure it out I get no where. Any help is appreciated!

a few things with these headlights... (speaking from experience)
for the lows, first off, get an hid kit, it will increase visibility greatly over the crap halogen bulbs that came with it. You're better off having the lows level instead of an inch down.
for the highs, adjust them with this in mind... The top bolt will raise/lower the beam, the one that's diagonal to it will move it left/right. also upgrade this to something along the lines of silverstar bulbs as the bulbs that come with them again, are cheap and crappy. the easiest way you can aim the highs is move the car about 5ft away from the same wall and have someone get in the car and hold the highs on w/ the lows on, that way you can see the stepped cutoff from the lows. move the highs so that the main hotspot of the highs is pointing at the step in the lowbeam cutoff.
now go test drive. if the highs dont give you enough width to your liking, then move them slightly outward and up(though i dont recommend it)
hope this helps
edit:
oh yeah, and i recommend you make a dual harness so that the h1's only pull power from the battery. You can also make it so that the lows stay on when the highs come on...giving you even more visibility at night. if you're interested in this i can get you a wiring diagram.

ok, that helps. I did change the bulbs to luminics ultra white, I used those in the stockers and liked them, I may go hid later but not yet. Thanks for the help on the highs! I couldn't find that on any forum! So the third screw doesn't do anything? Cool. And I would def be interested in that wiring diag. Thanks again! I got some pics I'll post later
