Help with my retrofit

[vinbon63]

To be honest Slick it looks really good, and I think that is how it is supposed to be. I dont remember 100% sure, but I think the HID's in my brothers Audi cutoff like that. Again though, I think, I dont remember for certain.

/\ well look at my 2 pics and then look at the guys i posted. its 2 different patterns

the way you get that cut off is that the passenger side projector is aimed slightly higher to illuminate road signs. when it is raised its lower portion of the cut off is inline with the upper part or the driver side cut off.

you have it aimed like this: ____/ ____/

it should go something like this:
*****_____/
_____/
not to this extreme of course, but you get the point?

:ignore the asterisks, firefox is being odd.

man I think the cutoff looks fine! lol, you're too anal about it. If you look at Flyp's projector cutoff, he is about 40 ft away from the wall. You're about 10 ft away from your garage. So naturally, each projector has it's cutoff piece and is going to show that way on the wall that close. If you drive, you'd want it this way, b/c you'd get a wider visibility of light vs. having them both focus inward like that, then you'll lose visibility on the sides.

This is how my TSX retrofit looks whenever I'm really close to a car or am parking my car in front of the garage like you showed. Its totally normal man. No need to worry about little details like that. They look perfectly horizontal, and that's the main issue of importance in aiming the projectors.

See this is what my cutoff looks like from FAR away like 40+ft away.

i know im anal about it thats why i wanna make sure it looks perfect. you may think it looks ok but i see your cutoff and then i look at mine and they look totally different. i dont get it.

****/___
__/-- right?

i have followed up on your retro very well. your cut off looks like mine so i guess its time to seal them up and call it a day

Use the horizontal adjustment on the headlight to bring them closer together.

The highbeam makes it harder to see, but the 2 individual cutoffs should be closer together.

i know what your talking about and i have the JDM 1 piece headlights so when i try to bring them closer together it doesn't work. i have the screws almost all the way out since if i screw them all the way in i would imagine the beams would be further apart

Are you adjusting only 1 light or both? Because you have to adjust both horizontal and vertical on both the lights to get it perfect. If the way you mounted the projector is limiting your adjustment then you have to take it out and position 1 of the projectors to shoot inward more.

i adjusted both both ways

Slick, the beam pattern you are showing is how the TSX's are adjusted from the factory. When you adjust them closer together you lose a little bit of width on the pattern.

no those are pics from flip's retro. my beam pattern is nothing like his

[accordztech]

if u cant adjust no more then u have to remount the projectors to get a more acurate mount.
