    headlight problem

    Since I bought my car, my headlights have always shined on the road in sections... Kind of. Hard to explain. Look at the pictures.








    So is my headlight broken or something? It was hit on the right side before. Could part of the headlight be shattered or out of place and is causing this to reflect like this? It even did it when I didn't have hid's. Its making it difficult to see when I drive. Any idea's?

      Why not try and tweak (adjust) the lights and see if it gets better? I know it can be a pain to remove the bumper to get access to the headlight bolts but it might be your only choice unless you come up with something else. the bumper meets very snugg up with headlights and grille so start from there and if not try tweaking the adjustment screws on the headlights themselves.. good luck with it man!!

        It's because you have reflectors. You may be able to adjust it to get your hot spots to travel out further.

          That is what happens when you put HIDs in halogen housings. You need projectors for proper usable light output.
          Other drivers will appreciate it as well... as you are most certainly blinding them (and I know at least one driver that has gotten so sick of HIDs in halogen housings that he swerves at anyone that blinds him with their carelessness...)

          Do a proper projector retrofit, and your light output will improve considerably. Your car will also look much better, and you'll have another thing to be proud of.

            I've adjusted the lights multiple times and it's always shined like that. Even with regular headlights. And when my brother put HID's in his old cb7, it didn't shine like this at all. Same in his cd5 too. I really think my headlight is messed up from being hit. I've always wanted to do a retro fit, but I put these in for now just so I can see better while I'm driving. Because the stock headlights were really really bad.

              I took a real good look into my right head light, and I can barely see it but it looks like as if some part of the reflector has melted down inside of the light, or broken from when it was hit on that side. So I'm going to replace the headlight and see if takes care of the problem. Thanks guys.

                you should be able to find a nice pair at a junkyard.. try to find a nice set with the less pitting and that never been hit or kinked at any point and you should be good. I'm sure if the ones on your car have broken or melted parts that would definetly give a bad lighting output. Good luck with it man,hope you luck out at the yards..
