Is this good HID pattern?

I see that you have a dark spot like I did when I had my HIDs in. Looks good to me, but do you get a dip in the center of the road?

andrusha

Not sure what you mean about the dip.

Richard2011

One of the reasons why I switched back to halogens was I had a "dip" in the center of my light pattern. It wasn't visible on when projected on to a wall, but on the road, it did not light up the road ahead but lit up the sides perfectly.

---v--- Like this, I guess. Haha.

I dont have that dip in my pattern.

UPDATE
I checked my setup again and I saw a minor v shape dip but its not that bad.

That looks about right coming from our w204 halogen projectors. I do have the dip in the center as Richard2011 was talking about.

andrusha

do you think the hight looks good on this setup?

Your headlights appear to be aimed way to high, and you are definitely shining excess light into people's eyes. You shouldn't get that dip in your headlights if they are aimed correctly. They should not go higher in the sides.

Ill try to lower them. Will post another shot

I have that same wierd dip to

Richard2011

Aiming won't fix the problem, because there is no knob that moves the beam left or right.

andrusha

that dip doesn't bother me as much since its really minor.

Could you elaborate on how to go about removing the dip in the projection?
One of my side was not turning on all the time so I switched sides for the bulbs yesterday, and noticed a tab at the end of the bulb. So there really is only one way to seat the bulbs correctly right?


The tab kinda like this http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DDMH7bulb.jpg

Yes there is only one way to put the hid buld in the socket.
