Headlight and Foglight Aiming Help!
Headlight and Foglight Aiming Help!
Hey guys.
I recently got my car back from the body shop and I'm not sure if my headlights are aimed properly. The foglights, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure aren't aimed properly....or maybe its just me?
The headlights are factory bulbs and headlights with ZKW-rs in stalled by JNC.
The foglights are 07-08 DEPO, tinted yellow with 6000k HIDs installed.
Tonight I went out for a drive and found a dark parking lot and took a few pics.
The headlights seemed okay? I turned the aiming screw on the driver's side so it would come up and I got a slightly clearer cutoff.
The driver's side foglight is clearly visible to me as the driver. I can the yellow light coming from itw hile i drive and. The pass. side on the other hand, I can barely tell is on while I'm driving. I'm not sure if maybe it needs to be aimed higher? or the driver's side needs to be aimed lower?
Let me know what you guys think?
Here is a quick video:

are both HID bulbs the factory originals? I think your driver side may be new and thus be brighter compared to your older factory one. HID's loose light output over time and use so I wouldn't be surprised it his was the case.
As far as the fogs go, I think you need to lower your driver side just a little bit and raise up your passenger side a good amount!

As far as I know they are both original....not sure.
The accident was on the driver's side and broke the headlight. I went ahead and got two new headlights because JNC gave me a good deal. The ballasts, bulbs, and ignitors were all still good and were re-used.
Does anyone know how to adjust the foglight without taking off the bumper or anything? I'm not sure if its possible with the Type-S A-Spec installed...

Both lights/projectors get tested before getting shipped so I know we are good there as some times if the lenses are not installed right you may end up with an awkward looking cut off.
It seems like that the cut off from your driver side headlight is good where as the passenger side one is not.
Who ever installed the bulbs inside the headlights didnt rest them properly, the bulb has to sit tightly against the wall of the projectors bub opening and also the locking bulb retrainer is in place correct.
You'd have to take the headlight off and install the bulb properly. Also, I sent you foam washers with the lights, can you make sure that the body shop installed them as well?
