    Yep j30. I hope a nice set of hid lights will help with the output.

    I set power to the projectors to see this beam pattern cut off or lack of. Turns out that only the low beams have a cut off line, which I'm pretty sure is fine considering when you flick on high beams you want to see everything in front of you anyways. There are a few improvements to the inside of the projector housing I'm going to make to improve the output. Seeing how the projector housing are made of aluminum, even the bulb base. I see no reason why a 35 watt 6k hid won't fit and stay lit.

    Bend cutoff a little to sharpen the line and add a little color.

    I'm going in with my dremal and maybe a file. I'm not good with bending as much as grinding.

    Its a slight bend. A hair. A small tweak.

    The factory bulb

    The same projector with a HID before any modifications

    Im not sure what you are saying to bend.
    On my agenda I'm going to grind out that tab at the top that is related on the bottom ( the batman tail in the middle)

    I hate to say it but, as you can see the output is greater with the stock bulb. The HID bulb hotspot is not in the right spot so thats why you get a shadow in the middle where the bright spot is on the halogen image. They just weren't designed for HID bulbs, grinding down the tab will help with foreground lighting but too much light on the ground can be a bad thing. Bending the projector cutoff wont do much for output, it will simply sharpen the line where the light and shadow meet.

    Before

    After


    With the stock bulb installed after the tab met its match

    I did a better job at holding the bulb this time lol. It looks better to me now. All bending or grinding aside

    The tab looks like a foreground limiter, which in essence isn't a bad thing, but that one was too narrow to be effective anyway, so good riddance. I was gonna say that output was terrible, but with the readjustment it looks great. You are gonna LOVE all that light right at the cutoff, you'll be able to see very far at night with that. I never worry about Ricky's attention to detail, dude gets it right every time!
