Adjusting H.I.D's. Sharpness

[pretty_ricky302]

Ok my hid's have the casper shield. I'm not really sure what direction it should be in. Right now its at the bottom end. I was told my lights arent correct as far as glare.... What should i do to adjust.


Correct





Mines= Improper

The shield goes at the bottom to cut off the glare.

Mines is on the bottom.

You have aftermarket HID it will never be as clear as OEM reflector. The shield helps but it does not do much.

[pretty_ricky302]

The correct one is aftermarket for the same car

Can you get us a pic of the beam pattern

[pretty_ricky302]

How you do that. Go to a wall and take a side ways pic?

well don't go to the wall, we are sure you love ur car and don't wanna wreck it.. You are right drive up to a wall, stop about 10 feet away and take a picture of what the beam pattern looks like ON the wall, while you are INSIDE the car.

you can only do so much...you will have to live with it or do a retro like i did in my sig.

i lived with a plug and play kit for a week...and was disappointed at the output.

So your hid's is an oem of another car which is correctly assemblied and positioned.

Yep

Or a car w/stock or retrofitted D2S projectors.

I have a kit in my CB (no shield available) and the output sucks. Only remedy is going back to stock halogen, or getting a retrofit.

one way to cut the glare is to take apart the headlight and paint everything except the half moon part in the back. i painted mine with flat black grill paint and now my beam is way more focused. the light output seems to be better aswell cause its got some direction.

kinda, its actually the projector that is from another car to get th eproper cutoff...

imo and you may think im anal but its the best way lol....there is a link in my sig

add extra shielding to the casper shield.

that's what me and kidd262 did.

just use a tin can, and cut up a small piece, and Jb weld it
