That is a LOT of glare..sorry man..I don't know how to fix those.

Honestly they aren’t really all that horrible …..or atleast I have seen worse.

First off the best way to get the idea of beam pattern is to take a picture further away, say 25-30 ft.

The cutoff really reminds me of a lot of other HALOGEN projector cutoffs….. with is different than HID cutoffs for the glare reason.
The Subaru cut off comes to mind for some reason ….. along with some Acura Projectors

Anyway to fix them it really isn’t that bad.
We just need to open them and modify the shield.
Nothing that a piece of high temp AL tape can’t fix.

Head over to HIDPLANET for some pictures on how the Halogen shield and HID shield differ, and then use AL tape or some thing more permanent to modify the shield.

those don't look too terrible, but i gotta say, with that blue though, if you hit me with those on the road, i will chase you down and beat you.

This cutoff is not that appripriate for xenons, but I think it's a perfectly normal halogen projector cutoff pattern.

I just rented this Suzuki Liana (Aerio) while in Europe, and it had exactly that kind of pattern (although not as sharp since it had reflectors).

[Aceventura9586]

What bulbs are those anyway? Those look like boeing 747 landing lights or somthin.

[Avalonman]

Wow, i kinda like that. And, i agree with Ace's post #5. lol

What n8dogg455 said, and what I said in a different thread a couple of weeks ago. Those projectors are not designed for HIDs, and neither were the shields.

As far as the pattern not being striaght, its supposed to be like that. Halogen and HID projectors are designed to output more light on the right side in order to light up your side of the road more, and to decrease glare for opposing traffic. The difference is that halogen projectors generally don't flatten out after the "click", while HIDs do.

In addition, cutoff pictures must be taken 25 feet away from the wall. Cutoffs will do some pretty funny things as you get further if they're improper. The picture you posted doesn't tell me very much except that you probably have 8000K+ HIDs and that you're using halogen projectors.

I'm afraid you'll see some "fog" in your pattern.

[LE05]

my god, those are blue. if you're going to get a pnp kit, at the very least go 6000k or UNDER. btw, you're driver's side is a little low, cutoff should be like
