help HID configuration!!!

[5tolen]

hey guys i installed a HID kit a while back and im really happy with it but alot of complaints from people that think my high beams are on but its not...so i learned how to tilt them down with the knobs but is there a way to adjust them left and right aswell? or can it just be adjusted up and down?

Just do the up and down.

I'm curious, who see's you in oncoming traffic, that then knows who you are to complain?

USA lights only have Up and DOWN.

ASIA lights have side to side too

It's kinda funny in a sad way that you get mad at them for highbeaming you when you're doing the exact same ..... Just sayin'

exactly why they need to start ticketing people for using HIDs in halogen housings

I almost hit a kid on a bike due to glare from a 8-10K HID set spilling light everywhere. /rant

I put mine in tonight, didn't have time to adjustment, got flashed about 6 times on a 180 mile drive. Projectors in three months, until then IDK, may switch back to be kind.

Mine just has 6000K HIDs in the stock lights and I've never had that issue. My lights do point towards the ground though. Even when I was following my friends car I asked him if my lights were glaring in his mirrors and he said no. (He has an 08 Altima BTW)

I have HIDs in my car.

What I did was parked on a very dark back road and put my car in park.
I adjusted my lights to where I could see about 50-60 feet out.

What's sad is that I don't know if my HIDs make it seem like I have high beams on or not, but I do know that when I turn on my high beams that there is no damn difference in vision gains. I haven't had anybody flash me or anything yet, but I was only about to drive my car for about 3 weeks before I deployed.

If I notice HIDs in a car and it's slightly blinding me I just look past it because I'm doing the same thing and it's not like it's intentional. I just don't want to realize I'm about to hit a deer when my lights only shine 20 feet in front of me.

HIDs are the way to go, but if you got the $$, get projectors. One day after a turbo I'll get them.
