OK, not what I asked. How are you setting your HIDs? As in what procedure are you using to align them?
This is how you align your HID headlights
TO AIM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS:
1. Align your car dead center in your driveway....the front and back of your car need to be perfectly aligned in the center..
2. Pull your car up to the garage door...as close as you can get w/o hitting the door..dead center in the middle of the garage door / driveway.
3. Put a piece of tape where the headlight beams hit the garage door. This should only be smal dot of light...
4. Pull you car back 25'. Your Projector lens should be 25' away from the garage door...not your tires or your bumper...your headlights. DEAD CENTER IN THE DRIVEWAY
5. With tape Place a VERTICAL line that intersects each piece of tape that you put on the garage where your headlight beams hit. Use a yardstick or a straight edge t make it perpendicular to the driveway. This is important for aiming your lights right to left....this is just as important as up and down because if your lights are aimed to far left you will still be shining omcoming traffic in the eyes and if they are aimed too far right your not getting the most out of your light.
6. With tape place a horizontal line along the garage that intersects each piece of tape that you put on the garage where your headlight beams hit. They should oth be the same height off the driveway.
7. With tape place a horizontal line along the garage that is 2.1" lower than the tape you placed on the garage in instruction #6. This line should be parallel with the line in #6...just 2.1" lower.
8. Cover up the passenger side headlight with a thick towel.
9. Turn on your lights
10. Drivers Side UP/Down: Bring the lower step of the cutoff to or below the tape line that is 2.1" lower than your headlights...Dot Spec is 2.1" to 2.5" drop over 25'
11. Drivers Side Right / Left: The Vertical line on the drivers side of the garage should intersect the middle of the slant on the cutoff. Move the beam pattern until this is the case.
We don't have a left/right alignment. Only up/down. Don't worry about this part.
Moving the projectors from right to left may effect the height of the beam pattern. If this is the case..just go back and fine tune.
Again, don't worry about left/right
12. Cover the Drivers side headlight with a thick towel.
13. Repeat the UP/Down Left/Right procedure that you did on the drivers side with the passenger side. The vertical line on the passenger side of the garage is to be used for instersecting the slant in the cutoff on the passenger side headlight beam.
