Default Projectors! Now with Pics!!

Well I got them installed and it took forever!For some reason, my other computer wont hook up with HAF so I cant put up pics. They look nice though and I hooked up the rings to 5w so they should last alot longer. Anyways, the light output for the highs is great but the lows are terrible. I am going to try and aim them up. Seems, as though they are pointing down. Do you guys think some Silverstar Ultras would help quite a bit? I am wiling to send $55 to avoid hitting a deer.

Thanks

Its up to you dude. I love the look of projectors, but the light output...well itll need some work. With most projectors you cannot use HID's.. Idk, bout the other headlights though. Goodluck!

Well here they are! I love the look!

Okay, one problem though. If you have any ideas PLEASE help.

The high beams are great. I just bought Silverstars for the lows and the output is horrible. Well, actually they are fine, its the the projector lens for the lows (not the whole housing) is pointed down inside the housing. If they were up I would think it would be fine. I try to pry, the lens comes up a little then it goes back down. So any ideas? Or should I simply buy some driving lights to use with my lows? Are there any legal ones out there? The last pic shows my output, those were with the bulbs that came with the projecotrs not the silverstars. After putting in the SS's it got worse. So I guess just putting them in made the beams point lower.


Thanks for any help guys. My parents would kill me if they knew how these were at night. So I need to do something ASAP.

hey 97 accord, how do i lower my head lights? Cause when im driving at night it seem like one of my head lights is higher than the other one. When i look at it from afar a way i can tell that one of them is higher than the other one. Is there an adjust screw to lower it?

if they are the halo type, there should be 2 adjusters for the high's and 2 for the lows, the light output is so so, i have a set on my car and had to really aim them to get them good. now i need to figure out which headlights to do a hid retrofit on. the halo's or stocks.
