quesion on headlights

[DrOwZee]

so i thought it was my HID at first cuz my driverside headlights were brighter. but after i traded HID today with jospeh, the driverside is still brighter. is it the angle of the headlights or is the the ballast?

angle of your headlights. I thought the same thing until I parked in front of my garage and saw one headlight was lower than the other.

 

[DrOwZee]

yea. my headlights are diff angle. but shouldnt they be the same brightness though? or is the angle cuzing the driverside to reflect more light?

 

[ryan s]

if anything, the passenger side would be brighter

the right side of the cutoff would have more light...kind of like ____/-------

when one side is brighter you might want to check the connections. after that, switch bulbs from side to side...then ballasts and see what happens.

 

[DrOwZee]

alrite ill keep that in mind. acutally, its more liek this

its more focus on the passengerside. and the driverside is a blurr wen pointed at a wall.

 

[HondaLuver83]

its because the beam isnt correctly pointed upwards. Move it up and it will become more focused. If not, try what ryan said

 

[ryan s]

the bulb must be seated with the return wire facing down in the 6 o'clock position...check that as well.

(the return wire is the insulated lead going from the top of the bulb into the base, in case you didnt know )

 

[DrOwZee]

oooooh. its pointing uppp. so its suppose to be pointing down huh. alrite ill try it out tonight. thx for the feed back

 

[ryan s]

hopefully thatll help out
