Check out the new lightsssss man

I'm talking about the projector it's self. I can just look at it and tell its glass.

Anybody have that link to that website where you can make your own headlights? I lost it and forgot the name.

And for the person who asked my bulb size. 1157 for my turn signals. And H1 for for my high and low beams.

 

[FearlessNick]

Does anybody know how to adjust the projectors? My passenger side is higher.

Should be some knobs on the back of the headlight.

 

[FearlessNick]

Their is only knobs for my high beam. Non on the outside of the housing for my projectors. I was doing some research last night and I think I have to take the projector out of the light to adjust it.

I believe that's why most aftermarket projector headlights suck. You can't adjust them and they typically blind oncoming traffic. A true projector would have to be adjusted from inside the headlight housing. It might get pretty messy with those as my guess is they don't have a great way to adjust the projector, if at all. But I'd be interested to learn as I never hear of anyone actually adjusting aftermarket projectors.

True projectors are adjusted before you seal the housing back up. Just look at some of the retrofit threads.

I'm planning on doing mine sometime this winter, gonna get a spare set of housings, as my DSM is my DD.

Mine have up/down adjustment for the lowbeams.

I found a forum post on it. And its a lot of math and prep for it. I'll grab a link. But yea I can look inside and see adjuster screws. So I would have to take them apart or get a small swivel with a extension.

But I was messing around with it and the bulb is not sitting fully in the socket. So I'm going to bend the clip a little so it will push it in more.

Well like Brian is saying real ones are adjusted before sealed. But I wish real ones had them. But I could also see why they don't.

Then right now I just got done talking to a friend. And he said it would make sense if the right one is down more.

Reason be is to not blind on coming traffic.

So I bent the clip a little. And they are snug in their now. But driver side is lower then the passenger side.

But if you think, you should have it lower for on coming traffic so you aren't blinding them.

Yeah that is because most people that retrofit them don't make any way to adjust em, they just put em on a rig and aim before sealing em up because that is easier.

OEM Headlights with projectors have adjustment knobs.

Yea, I see why now. But I have made them more snug and the bulbs don't move. But one is still higher then the other. But I'm going to stick with the idea I not blinding on coming traffic. I can't wait to get HID's for them. Its going to be so sick!

Yeah the low beams on mine are have a sharper flare up on the right side so you can see more off the edge of the road. Totally helps, I saw a deer in the bushes on a country road once, it didn't run out but if it had I doubt I would have seen it with the oem headlights.

 

[FearlessNick]

Yea, I can see pretty good with just the regular bulbs. But I can't wait to get HID's. I'll get before and after pictures.

You can get some adjustment from the cheap projectors by using a phillips screw driver on the screws located at the back of the headlight. To increase height screw clockwise at the two upper screws and counter clockwise on the bottem two. It may give you some movement. It may not work for all though.
