Projectors, Dont Know What To Do.....

I am having all kinds of trouble with my CK projectors, same as matrix and others. I cant seem to get them properly aligned. I have this dark blue line across the driver side and a faint blue line across the passenger right in the light pattern. I do not have the ion blue projectors and I have tried PIAA Xtreme White bulbs and the ones that came with it. Both gave the same result. Actually both bulbs looked almost the same, Xtreme alittle whiter and not quite as yellow. I just dont know what to do. If I could get them aligned correctly and get the bulbs to look the same it would be great. Currently the driver looks blue and the passenger yellow...

I have posted before and someone said the fuse might be blown, I have checked all fuses and they are ok. Anyone have any ideas to what I can do before I pull them out and send them back????? Im debating on going back to the good ol stock headlights with yellow inserts (non cleared)


Thanks,
Ozzy

I have no probs with mine

The blue line is normal. Check out the line pattern on an S2000 or an Audi, they have them too (hence why they change colours when they hit bumps).

Yeah but only the driver side has a noticible line, you cant see it on the passenger side when viewing from the front of the car.......

IDQcivic should not be trusted
sounds like you all need to adjust them! On the back of the projectors are some phillips screws around where the low beam bulb is. What I did was parked my car and aimed it at a flat wall such as a garage door, then turn the lights on at night and slowly adjust these screws on the back of the housing from inside the hood. You probbaly need a shorty phillips screwdriver. If you already tried that, then I don't know what to say... Later...

Well I did this tonight and it made some difference. I aimed the passenger lamp higher than the driver side. Atleast there even now looking at them, the only problem now is that the driver still looks blue at times while the passenger never does. Guess beggars cant be choosers. Oh and I have some PIAA Super Plasmas comming in tomorrow, Ill try them out and post the results.....
