i finally found a spot to aim my hids. i have the hanabi 8k kit. the main thing i did was aim the left one down and in. before i aimed them i would get other drivers flashing me. now no probs with oncoming traffic.

also the beam pattern and area of illumination is still great.

aiming hids is a most.

 

it's about time you aimed them..slacker.. I should be with you before x-mas.. I'll know either tomorrow or friday if lockheed is down

 

going on a week and a half det to Kauai on next tuesday so i wont be back till halloween.

ill call ya over the weekend.

 

Kauai is cool, rent a kayak and go up the river if you have time

 

cool.. btw I finally joined everyone else..lol

 

dont know why it took you so long to realize that you have to aim them regardless which kit you get

i did mine that night!

i know i know. procrastanation.(sp)



ben i plan doing some kayaking for sure!

bags ill give you a call over the weekend. yeah your as$ looks good.

 

tell me how to aim em.. i imagine i need a wrench or socket to turn the aiming "wands"

 

10 mm socket and wrench.

do it at night and point your car towards a big wall.

park far enough that you can see the difference in between the left and right headlights. but not too far where you cant see the beams move.

take the wrench and adjust the "wands" up, down, left or right by turning the *****.

i adjusted the drivers side all the way left and down.

 

sorry about digging this old thread up, but where is the wands?

 

the passenger one is right by the top of the radiator. little black **** attached to a metal pole. it looks like its sticking out of the radiator. thats the hardest one to find. the other wands look similar but are in there respective places.

 

cool I'll try and find it soon, another question do you think i need to lower my headlights a little or a lot?

I just installed the Hanabi 6500k kit, and it is VERY bright. My headlight adjusters are broken so I will be taking the headlight out today to repair them.

My bulbs also do not match. One is blue and one is white. Kind of embarrassing. Freddie tells me they take time to get to be the same color (60hrs). Anyone else have this experience?

 

yes!! I do!! mine doesnt match one super white and the other one is slightly blue... but i brought my kit used (like 10hrs at most the guy rarely used it!)

 

your aim looks good from those pics. maybe aim a little down to get more of the beam on the road. but other wise pretty even from side to side.
