Projector night shots with beam pattern

I just thought i would show your guys the beam pattern and a couple cool night shots i got way earlier tonight (it's currently 4:30 am here). We had this awesome sunset, and for like 5 minutes, there was this cool blue tint to everything. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy.

Here's one with the blueish tint to it...


Cool shot with part of the sunset...


Side view of the driver's side light...


Head on with high beams...

Here are the beam pattern pics...

Beam pattern for low beams


Beam pattern for high beams


If you notice on the beam pattern pics, there is a hot spot on the driver's side below the cuttoff. I don't know why exactly it is like that, but i guess it has to do with the way the bulb its sitting in the projector housing.

Also the wall isn't parallel with the curb, so that's why the light looks a little downhill.

Please lemme know what you guys think.

dam dam dam, that looks hot man. Honestly when driving though, does the ground light up better now? i dont give a dam about other drivers, i just want better seeing at night.

Can you HONESTLY say these projectors give you better viewing at night? and please tell me u had hid's before getting the projectors cause if u just had halogen bulbs then this must be like Pentium 4 vs Celeron

Very nice...One day maybe someone with your same thinking will blind you and possibly cause you to get into an accident...Im sure your thinking will change then...


Geez, all you guys act like the stock 9004 lighting is dangerous. I know its not the best lighting in the world, but damn...

the lights look great, but i think indigo messed up again cause i think he used one LHD projector and one RHD Projector

see if you look at my cut off they form a "Z":


with yours it looks like a "U", maybe if you adjust them it might fix it.

the only way to be really be sure is to look at the shield its self. I had the same problem when i bought my kit, so i had to send back one of the projectors to get the correct one.

Stock 9004 is not dangerous, hids with projectors are just better.
It's the hid 9004 kits that are dangerous, if they don't aim it down so it won't glare, and the pattern is not tight. I didn't relize how bad it was till I moved out to Long Lsland. Some streets don't have lights and my 9004 hids were not giving me any long range lighting.

I felt that way too till I got flashed more times then an old lady in the fast lane, and when A Super Trooper happily gave me an $$$ dollar ticket for having illegal Glaring lights.

The ground is like 400 times brighter with these. i went from silverstars in my stock 95 headlamps to these. as far as light goes, when i ride with other people, i keep telling them to turn on there lights, even if they have theirs on.

maximabebe - what dead cat???

String - haha, no one ever takes time to look for info anymore....

Yeah, i think there are both LHD and RHD projectors in there. The way i have it is it "turned" the projector to the left on the driver's side so that the light doesn't break off to high.

it's better then a 9004 hid kit, that's for sure... I know one of the projectors is a RHD projector, but the beam pattern is still very focused (which is point right ). Sure it's not perfect, but gimme a break, it's not like i made them...
