hid seating in cefiro housing

Is there a particular way i am supposed to put the hid light bulbs in the cefiro headlights. Because i just got just a pair of cefiro headlights housing and when i put in the bulbs the light seemed to go to the extreme left and extreme right when i was driving.

Does the output move while driving? If so then the bulbs might not be seated properly. If they don't move then the headlights just might need a re-aim.

yeah they don't move i just got them and like i might have to turn the light around a bit, or is that what you mean by re aiming. i just got these pair of headlights and they look awesome but i was just wondering because when im driving on the trees i see all the lights also and not in front of me. I'm a noob so im scared that something might happen hah.

humm thats strange i never had any problems with my cefiros. i did notice they are meant for RHD so it puts out more light to the left of our cars. reaming is easy and done by the back of your headlights.

Yeah they just have to be aimed. It's good that you're aiming anyway because you now have HIDs so they're also gonna have to be aimed lower.

I have no personal experience with Cefiro's so I'm not exactly sure how to aim them but there should be adjustment ***** on the back of the housings somewhere similar to the stock ones.

It fits in there but i have to push the pin in a little forcefully. I have them fitted in and everything it's just that the positionin of the light is to the left all the time and not straight. that's the only major problem i have.

Will that make the way the light look better? and i would need to get a 9004 to h4 conversion wouldn't i?

If not i might as well sell them (Btw does the H4 bulbs give a better light dispersement in the cefiro housing??)

With an H4 bulb it should sit perfectly, if that's the problem. You should be able to just buy new bulbs, no need for another kit or even a conversion kit.

I see your FS ad now, GLWS.
