I'm cool now.. but got a question

[fhh02a]

Over the weekend I installed my retrofitted headlights.

The kit is from TRS and it's the 5500k mini h1 kit.
I absolutely love them, it's like it's daylight when my lights are on

My question is/are

Does the throw look right ?
Why do the dip in the middle?
Does the cutoff look right?





I fixed the alignment today

The cutoff does have a nice blue line but doesn't show up in the photo

[Der Konig]

Its hard to tell but I think what you are referring to is a built in sort of step down cut off on the driver side headlight to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

not sure about the other questions.

Edit: oh wait, it looks like a U. That im not sure. I assume due to how the light is dispersed and concentrated you need less height in the middle? dont know.

[miA4]

I would assume the U shape is due to a alignment issue. Maybe the lens is slightly tilted in one direction.... They look fine to me though.

[fhh02a]

Thanks guys. You can't tell unless you shine them on a wall.
I'll just run them now as is.

The lights measure at 34 inches from ground at 25 feet

[Theiceman]

if you are in doubt get them aimed professionally . There is nothing more irritating on the roads than driving down the road with an amateur ricer who threw on new lights to impress his buddies and blinds everybody just to look cool . don't be THAT guy ..

[fhh02a]

I'm not that guy.

I was asking about the U shape

The are aimed right now.

[Brillo]

The pattern doesn't look right to me. There shouldn't be a dip in the middle, and the cutoff should be on the driver's side so as not to blind oncoming traffic. If the first two pics are of the high beams there is way too much foreground lighting. More of the light should be projected down the road. In case you were wondering this is one of the main reasons why most systems on US made cars turn the fog lights off while on high beam.

[fhh02a]

The first picture are pointing at the ground due being at an angle

I raised the lights some today

ing LM output

Lm output?

[vce1232000]

Lm output?

yes.

[Okedokey]

You sure they were LHD headlights?

[fhh02a]

They came from a member on her.

So I would say yes


And what is LM output

[vce1232000]

lumen

[fhh02a]

Here's a link to my factory bi-xenon nite lite up for a comparison http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...all-amp-Review

Your rotational axis is off on both sides. Should be perfectly horizontal against a wall.

Sorry I'm dumb

[vce1232000]

Sorry I'm dumb

..........lol

[fhh02a]

how would one fix the rotational axis?

Depending on how the projectors are mounted to the headlights, I believe all you need to do is rotate them to fix that. Hopefully they are not glued!

[Brillo]

I agree with rongeur. Rotational mal-alignment might explain both the 'U' shape of the beam pattern and the excessive foreground lighting (which raising the beams seems to only have helped a little).

Which means I have to separate the housings to gain access

[fhh02a]

Thanks YouTube
Looks like I can do it from the back

Now which way to go

[fhh02a]

turns out. Im missing the bulb holder clip.. TRS has reviewed all photos and determined that the bulbs arent seated correctly.

hopefully the clips will improve the bowing affect

[Charles.waite]

yea those are WAY off. Rotate those suckers and try to get rid of the awful hot spot in the center. Its seems like they're aimed WAY low too. They appear to be acting more like fog lights than main beams.

[fhh02a]

just hope they can be rotated in the back
