Bought w202 Headlight Projectors

I bought these w202 projectors, and from the exterior and interior looks I was quite happy with the production; however FUNCTIONALLY, i was not disappointed...
Also, I did not buy them from ebay, and I spend about $316.00 USD. I bought them at "ilovebodykit" site.



Specifically with adjustments and hours of playing around, the cut-off the projector lens is horrible! my right side is blinding the cars who are on my right.
I tried adjusting doing minor things to the headlight itself but it still does not work out....



Any tips or advice? Does anyone else have this problem on a w202 with the same set of headlights? Anything would be great! I'm so close to just going back to OEM headlights, which I don't like because I can't use proper HIDs on it without blinding anyone.

Also Retrofitting new projectors to the OEM headlights can be crossed off. I dont have the time since I'm 2nd year university RN student!

how did you manage to cancel out the alarm in the cluster that says you have busted light?

I bet those projectors are designed for halogen bulbs. To use HID's you may have to do what the others have said, and replace the projectors with units designed for HID bulbs.

HIDplanet.com would be the place to start if you decide to pursue this action.

Good luck.
