I got cutoff!!

[Genuine Rolla]

Well, this is a picture of the cutoff that my projectors give off. I spent a couple hours last night aiming them n whatn0t...they have alot better light output than before. They were too low and plus i had to replace a bulb so i figured while i was at it, i'd finally aim them the way i wanted. I have them set so that both cutoff's hit the same spot. The shot is from about 30-35 feet away, The rocks doesnt give the best shot of what it looks like but i'll try to find a better wall to take a pic of. anyway, here it is:

im gonna try to get a better one tonight if it doesnt end up raining.

what bulbs/ ballasts or kit are you using... i like em!

They're just stock H1 bulbs that came with the headlights when i got them 2 years ago. i bought some eBay blue ones ($6 shipped) but those burnt out before a month was through. They were 100 watts and were no brighter than the 55watt ones. they were even dimmer. I'm hoping to have HID's in these by winter.

Nice

but listen.. the thing with the aftermarket projectors is that they greatly lesson the lightoutput

. Both me and my friend got Hid's at the same time.. He has projectors just like yours and i have blackhousing

He has a nice ass cutoff line.. And he will never blind anyone evar cause its aimed nicely.. However his arent as bright as mine on the ground. Now with mine.. I have some glare, nothing serious but mine are brighter.

So there is a trade off both ways.

Id say if you get hid's in the projector get a low kelvin like 4k-5k

But if you get hid's in the stocker get a high K cause it will still be bright on the road and look really nice too

you bring up a really good point. i keep on tossing and turning about what to do...looks like im going to give it some more thought....

nice my stock headlight does the same cutoff too

 

[bboygreddy]

stock headlights = cutoff??

do u have a retrofit or something hahah
nice cutoff though, bet u cant wait to get hids

btw which headlights do u have?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

they're just eBay sonar projectors . nothing special

 

[clemsonvic]

you should go back to stock headlights and get this kit http://www.hidexpert.com/producthtml/oem_kit.html its the kit i plan to get, more legal than most hid kits because its oem products. also comes with the adapters to put them in the stock headlamp and it should eliminate the upward glare that blinds people, its a good compromise between a retrofit and a plug and play application, but the kit goes right in just like the rest. its what i plan to get and was recommended to me for the same reasons

yeah, i recently checked out that site after qwuixer and green41, i think...were talking about gettint he H4 adapters so....thats another idea that i have rolling around in my head if i go with the stockies. I'd go with the D2R bulbs as well...hmm...more thinking to do.

[xenoicity]

i have a hid kit in stockers and it looks amazing.. 8000k

55W > 100W

100W = melted harness, fire, melted hosing etc.. trust me.. look into it.. not worth it...
want light? buy hids

 

[Genuine Rolla]

the 100W did nothing at all...no melting, no discoloration...no dammage whatsoever.

 

[Steven.]

ive had 100w melt harrnesses after a couple weeks, so be careful.
