I have a couple pics of my hid's on my 6th gen I took tonight. The only thing is I need a site to upload my pics too....a free site. I have this weird shadow in my pass light beam (see below)

Now until I get my pics up....go by this cheap line drawing. I know the pass side has a step up to the beam butif you look further to the right, there is a shadow in the middle of the beam on the same angle as the step. (as per my line drawing above). Show this shadow be there? I'll post pics if someone can help me out. Thanks

EDIT- Just realized what my line drawing does when I post. Just look and imagine the top horizontal line to the on the right repping the beam pattern. The 2nd line on an angle to the right is after the step in the beam Lose ya yet? If not....help

 

E mail them to me and I'll put them on my server for you. aowjp@hotmail.com Make them jpeg's and I'll send you the link to them.

 

go to photobucket.com for hosting your pictures

 

sorry about the size....programs are acting up big time

 

 

Well the pics are so large it's hard to make anything out. The only thing I can say is that where the red lines are is where the shadow I am talking about is. This has been bothering me for a long time

 

i believe that is the passenger side cutoff (that area looks purplish right?)
put ur car towards that garage across the street if you can, because it has a white wall. get close to it and drive backwards, watch the passenger side. i believe its that.

I guess it could be that PAL. All I know is it bothers the heck out of me. It just looks like a shadow in the beam. (not purplish)

 

can you aim it against a wall. i'm trying to figure out the pattern. to me it looks like this:

 

man it's set correctly. if anything, u could adjust the pass side a bit to the left. or u may have them set a little too low. b/c i only can see this when i am close to a wall. further out it all blends together.

 

yeah I think hes fine as well. its the angle he took the picture and the way the driveway goes up that the light is reflecting like that. dont believe you have to adjust anything!

 

Do you have to re-aim the headlights if you lower the car? esp if ouy lower the front only? What about for different aftermarket wheels?

-MO-

 

I'll trry and get some pics tonight against a wall. It's been like that for a while and maybe it's normal but I HATE it. Thanks for the help and I'll see what I can do.

 

Mo, with the HIDs being aimed a little on the high side, if you lower the car or change your wheels, it shouldnt have a dramatic effect.
