HIDS being too bright

**turtle187** · 20-03-2009 09:07 AM

hey guys,

i got HIDS awhile ago but they seem to be blinding alot of other drivers at night?
could it be possible that the lights are point up too much?
is there a way of adjusting and pointing it down?
just curtosy for other drivers on the road that think i have high beams on

What car do you have?

are your headlights OEM or are they aftermarket? if yours are aftermarket then you may have aftermarket headlights designed for the US which are designed to point to the drivers side.

when u use HID with the same beam height as u would using halogen, more likely than not u'd blind oncoming traffic...

u can always lower the beam direction, there's a screw type adjuster behind ur headlight housing, turn the screw to lower the beam (forgot which way to turn)...hope u can get the lights adjusted very soon

Do you have Projecter headlamps, or reflector headlamps. If you have reflector headlamps... then this is why you are blinding other people. It's really quite annoying!! HID's should only be fitted to projector headlamps! Some people will argue that even projector lamps that are not designed for HID's are bad.

hey guys ive got a ek1 and its 6k hids
so is the screw near the hid lights or my actual headlights?
and the headlights are oem ones, not aftermarket only the hids are aftermarket

Well that's why... you are one of those annoying people on the road, with HID's in reflector headlamps which scatter light everywhere, including the eyes of people driving head on to you.
