Proper Way to Aim HIDs - SRT Forums

p1llar · 02-06-2008, 07:17 PM

My hids are kinda all over the place, looks like shit. I know that stock headlights are not ment for hids etc. But can someone let me know how they aimed theirs?

I used my garage door but your supposed to be about 25 ft away on a flat surface facing a wall. They should look like this: (Use the Eurostyle side)

Here's a article you can read that helps also.

They are almost impossible to AIM IMO. As it is they barely stay in the housing. One fell out so I shoved it in there till it fit and oddly enough it aimed it perfectly. Now I need to find a way to keep them sealed in there.

Mine are perfect; though one of my ballasts just took a crap on me. I used the retaining ring from the stock bulb housing and mine have never moved. I got my aimed close to perfect. Gonna get some eyelids to reduce glare here shortly.

The retaining rings didn't fit with my hid bulb, however, the hid bulbs did "lock" so i know they're in there good. The drivers side is perfect, the passenger side is terrible, aimed way up and to the right, i don't know how to put it down and center it. I cannot exactly just twist and turn the bulb.

That Jeep link shows adjustment screws to aim the headlight, out cars don't have anything like that correct? so how in the hell do wer adjust our headlights?

its that you cannot aim HIDS in projectors correctly no matter how hard you try.

Don't bother, we all know what blinding ass HIDs look like.. cause we've all run into wankers who get them and put them in halogen light housings.

Just adjust them like you would to a normal halogen light.

Heres a picture.
