this happen to me also, here :
You'll see 2 long screws, they have a black plastic end on them that is about 3cm long. 1 of them is to aim it up and down and the other is to aim it left and right. i recommend you use a ratchet tool to aim your headlights. Each headlight has 2.

.... park in front of a wall at night... turn the aimer that is coming out of the headlight inside the engine bay until you get the desired results... its extremely ez. I suggest aiming them real low, mine are pretty low and ppl still flash me once in a while. People dont like HID kits, and I guess I cant blame them its rather bright and scattered.

Does anyone have a link for H.I.D. install? I am interested, I'd like to find out how hard/easy it is, and if it is really that beneficial.

I haven't found anything yet on how to install one, or where to install the power packs.

Would a relay harness/kit make HIDs any brighter? This is a pic of what am talking about. Anyone use one?

The 'standard' is about 25 ft. from a wall, garage door, etc. Just make sure you are a completely level surface from your car to the perpendicular surface. Your lights should be aimed at the 90 deg. angle where the wall/ door and the floor/ ground meet. Some people use a little shorter distance, but 25 ft. is the standard. (Keep in mind you will have some light scatter since you do not have projectors, but the glare will still be controllable to an extent.)

I have had Cefiro housings for about 2 years now, so unfortunately I cannot answer which screw is up/ down for you. Search it in the free search, its tucked away here in the forums somewhere. If not, someone wil chime in with here I'm sure, most everyone on here are very helpful.

BTW, how do you like your HIDs? I have a "Tenon" 4500k Bi-xenon kit from Ebay installed in my Cefiros without projectors (aimed a little down of course for courtesy for other drivers.) I love them! BIG difference over Silverstars! Cuts right through the fog and rain.

hey guys i got a quick question, didnt want to make another thread, i dont think it warrents one. I got an HID plug an play kit. well i hoooked everything up and they dont work..like when i turn them on the initially come on then go off right away..if i put the high beams on as soon as i turn off the high beams they come on and go off. It is just a single-xenon..i dont know what is wrong whether it is the ballasts or something on my car. The normal headlights work fine though. Would a relay kit help? Maybe i should add: with the original 15AMP fuse they wouldnt even turn on for me right now..i put in a 20AMP and they turned on but went off right away. If all the automotive stores werent closed i would try a 25-30AMP. seems kinda risky on stock wiring seeing how thin it is, but i guess it only draws as much or more current on start up then draw less once there on.
