new 8000K HID installation issue on a Civic Si
Hi forum dwellers. Recently I installed HIDs on my '09 Si using the DIY thread from this forum. (TY!).
they are working great so far. I just noticed however, the passenger side headlight is projecting bigger light radius than the driver side one.
here's a pic to help illustrate my concern.
i am wondering why that is, is it normal and if not, how I could fix it.
TIA.
p.s. here is a screenie of the cutoff point for teh headlights... does that look alrite?
the distance is appx. 25 feet between the headlights and that garage door.

easy. the passenger side is aimed too high. there is adjustment on the factory headlight, just turn it til the beam goes down to match the driver side on the wall shot.

im pretty sure his oem headlights have an up/down adjustment for lo beam, because usa regulations require it. hi beams are almost never adjustable and most cars do not even have adjustments for it.
