hows your light output? specifically if you put in HID's. . hows the light pattern?

over the forum outage i installed my projectors and hid kit.. and am very disappointed with them. from seeing everyone's pictures on here i had certain expectations.. but i think all your cameras jacked up the light output in night mode function!

i do need to adjust the aim some more, but regardless i have circles of light up in the air above the cut off line... do you?

overhead signs are lit up like the face of the sun... while the ground is so-so .. better than stock with halogen but still so-so

in some instances i can even see a jagged teeth-like pattern from something in the projector in those overhead circles...

i'm trying to determine if i got a bad set or if they are all like this and just nobody has really mentioned it. at the moment i feel a little bit like i should not have wasted the money.

Im happy wit the light output. my stocks sucked. i too have the two circle shits above the cutoff but then again their not adjusted all the way correct. It irritates me too but im dealing wit it. try adjusting them more it may correct it

I have them. Have HIDS hooked up to them. 8k. My friend has a TL so they look like shit compared to hers. But mine are better than teh stock neon headlights so they were good enough for me lol. I more or less got them because they looked cool. haha.

This is the best pics I have of my output. The only thing I don't like is that the light output doesn't have the glare needed to illuminate street signs properly, so its slightly harder to drive if you don't know where you're going. Also, it seems to me that the projector style projection doesn't cover the direct left and right of the car as the stockers did.

I've got the 03+ projectors and HIDs, but have not installed them yet so I cannot speak from experience. Could it be that they are designed to throw a bit of light up above the cutoff line to light up reflective road signs?

Mine light up road signs perfectly and I aimed my porjectors outwards slightly so I can get the light to go left and right.

My projectors don't have any light above the cut off line, so myabe you have a defective projector.

i guess its hit or miss on these things (as is basically what has been said about them)

how do you aim yours left/right? theres only up/down isnt there?

i dont have my camera with me tonight but maybe one of these nights ill try to get some pics

Naw theres 2 bottle cap looking things that u need to turn wit a screwdriver. There should be one rite by the fender and another that u can only see thru a hole in the radiator support shit

hmm yeah.. those are the up/down... or is the one closet to the blinker left/right? i thought it was up/down for the high beam

i lowered the beams quite a bit but now the circles of light are more where the high beams should be, so ill probably get flashed by other drivers more than i was before... and maybe cops .. heh

Doesn't your LED signals take care of the street signs? I know what you mean since my headlights don't illuminate the signs too, but my white LED signals take care of that and light it up very well.
