pickler

Ok so i tried to draw my problem, as crappy as my artistic skills are:



dark blue is right headlight and cyan is left. my problem is that dark spot or light gap when im driving in a lane. It fails to properly illuminate the lanes at night. I know this is by design to avoid blinding oncoming traffic but hell it blind my vision of middle and left side of the road completely. anyone else noticed this? how is your's aimed? i cant remember my factory aim. i was thinking of doing this:

The RDX front illumination seems more than adequate to me. Put the Hi-Beams on when no oncoming traffic. Also, keep the fog/driving lights on when headlights on.

pickler, I don't know if your left light has been turned down, or your right light has been turned up, but the cut line levels in pic 1 are incorrect. Since you have the dark area in the street lane, it would appear that the left light has been turned down.

The cut lines (high right side of each light cut-off) are supposed to be even, just as you depict them in pic 2. The cut line height should be set on level ground, against a wall at 25 feet, with the tire pressure normal and a person in the driver seat.

Honda says the cut line height is determined by "local requirements". Maybe you could find those, or just set them to suit, on a straight dark road.

if i aim it any higher it will be too high at the center and it hits other drivers rear windows/mirrors. this is kind of a good thing as they move over but it could potentially blind them if they dont lol.

Well at any rate, the Service Manual shows they should match, as in your pic #2.

arite ill guess ill lower the passenger side and raise the driver side a bit and match them.

at the proper level. even if they were even, the projectors wouldnt shine in the face like a regular open lense type headlight.
