[stanz86]

anyone in melbourne know where to get the kaixen HID kits locally and how much it costed?

[Stig]

Pm the trader, he is melb based

[aussiebuddha]

For the ones looking to get HIDs I'd recommend ebay.
I'd used an ebay set for 2 years and had no issues.
Models and quality may vary, but you can't beat the price.

Did you guys adjust your lights after installing the HIDs?

I just installed less than a week ago, everytime I pass cops they just glare at me now =\

Thinking that I should adjust my lowbeams a bit...

[Stig]

you're suppose to aim your headlights down when you install HID

[Xpire]

How much should I move it down? Is there some guide or something to it, or whatever's good?

[curtis265]

there are legal heights/angles to which the headlights must be aimed to, and with HID's you should probably aim them even lower to control the excessive output.


headlight aiming DIY
basically, use a screwdriver to turn that gear, don't spend ages trying to figure out 'where the screw is' like i did...

[Xpire]

Sweet! You guys are the best

Are those values in the guide close enough to the aus heights? Sounds easy enough.

[curtis265]

nah stuff those, use ur own discression when aiming them. Aim down a bit, and stand say 20m away and see how the glare is.

I once aimed them so low that my cutoff was around 10m in front of me. Couldn't see shit
