TheGr8Schlotzky,

Can you take comparison pics comparing the projectors to the low beam and high beam like in my pics?

 

Sure. I was planning on getting some pictures comparing, but with the rain lately, the light is reflected so much that it isn't as effective. I'll get some better ones up when I get a nice night.

No Lights

Headlights

Hella 90mm Projectors with 6000k HID

^^All the same exposure time for comparison sake^^
Don't remember if the headlights were on in that last picture as well.

Were you looking for pictures like yours against a wall, or would an open road shot be alright?

 

Against a wall is what I was looking for, but road shots are good too.

based on what is lit up in the pic with the projectors, they may be aimed a bit high. The road does have a rise to it in the middle (between your car and the house) so it may be a bit misleading.

 

The right one does seem to be a tad high. I need to do some more final aiming on them. I'll get some shots against a wall up when the weather is a bit nicer.

Projectors

Both


I really need to pull the right down a bit, but because I didn't cut the hole big enough to begin with on that side, aiming is a bit more involved than turning a couple screws. Anyway, it gives an idea

 

That line is a bit crooked. Did you straighten the driver-side and leave the step in the passenger-side?

 

Yes, and the passenger side housing is just slightly tilted unfortunately.

 

wow i ordered the low beam 5000k from ledgauges.com im hoping they turn out good like sharp beam pattern what do you think

 

For what housing?

 

low beam he selling a kit with housings i have been wanting them and i seen so i jumped on it http://ledgauges.net/catalog/product...495a8866559720 now after reading all of this im worried about beam quality

 

You aren't going to get a cutoff with those, as they aren't projectors. It'll surely be brighter, but will have a beam pattern similar to that of a stock light.

 

I don't know what the beam pattern of those looks like, but they are halogen reflectors retrofitted with HID capsules. They will be brighter, but the beam will not be optimal. You will probably get glare and an uneven beam pattern. Sometimes its close (rare), but still not nearly as good as a projector.

 

Guys,

This is the pattern you want (for reference)....




You will only get this with quality projectors and HID lighting.

 

Yea, I know. Mine looks like that. I have projectors.

Here is the image again from page 4:

 

Yea, yours look good, VIP. I was posting that for others wondering, and also for TheGr8 to see how much his differs from a "good" cutoff. That isn't mean to bash you at all, TheGr8, just to point out the evident, that those really aren't the greatest projectors. However, they are much better than sticking a HID kit in a reflector housing like so many idiots do

 

oh great. damn i could have bougt my new carpet

 

T/A's are different. You have a "sealed beam" housing. That is different (and better) than just a regular reflector housing. However, you will not have this sharp cutoff like projectors do. The light will be spread - a sort of a mix between a projector and a reflector.

 

well i'll be sure to take before and after i'll post them in here sould have them fri or monday

 

Sounds good

 

I would like to point out that VIP has the same projector housings as I do. It's all a matter of modifying the cut off. I'd also like to point out that in my pictures i'm a good 25' from the wall, giving the cutoff a bit more blur. And yes, I need to aim the right one down, and I should probably modify the cutoff in that one as well as it isn't too attractive.
