Cutoff doesnt look that bad but looks a little high to me.

I love the 6000k's though perfect mix between a blue and white while still being able to have plenty of light for the road

justin_4runner

Usually when you put HID's in a halogen housing you get left with light that is scattered and is usually everywhere especially in the eyes of oncoming traffic. Yours dont look too bad though. I just think that maybe your headlights were aimed too high though which would blind drivers...I could be wrong though but its kinda hard to tell in the pic.


Heres a pic of a car with bad cutoff with HID's in halogen headlamps

Notice how the light is scattered everywhere


Heres HID's in a retrofitted headlamp

Look at how there is a clean sharp cutoff line which allows the light not to blind other drivers

I like the way HID's look but i've had so many problems with them in the past on my other cars with shorting out and blowing fuses. An electrical nightmare ...sigh... Drive through puddles and rain and see if they don't blow fuses.

Do you have any pics of where you mounted the HID ballasts?

justin_4runner

yes those are the housing that i used,

justin_4runner

i didnt take any pics but i will today, it was too dark when done to get good pick, ill post more up later tonight after i get home from work.

just a quick note for people wanting to use HIDs mainly the newbs, HID should only be used in glass housings and not plastic. His are glass BTW

Not too keen on people using hid though in a non projector/reflector housing.

i have them in a stock 95 4runner housing and they are not too bad as far as output goes i had to make a shim to get a decent pattern but nobody flashes lights at me

I guess i would consider putting in HID's again. I do like the light output...

justin_4runner
