    Default HID's glare :,(



    Seems like there is a lot of glare! =,(...I thought it would have been minimized putting them in the euro-spec headlights. They actually look very very blue in the picture....but, for some reason, I feel as if they were green...yuck.

    Wow! That IS a lot of glare. I have US spec and no noticable glare. Have you cleaned the lenses or are they new?

    ... I realize that your close but those hotspots just don't look right.

    I found that my 7500k look a lot 'greener' than my ladies 6000k

    Actually, some of it may be lens flare?


    Projectors were brand new. Euro Spec- Depo.

    Do you have halos? If so, they may be scatter from that.

    On a good note, street signs will be lit up like you won't believe by that light

    freakin align both the heights the same and be done, looks like a great upper cutoff limit too. change bulbs to change colors if needed, I would just point them the same and run onn.

    I agree... with so much light, you can afford to aim lower and to the right. I think the chrome surrounding the projector is causing the glare... Mine is the smoked Hella Euro, so my surround is dark brown and zero glare.

    Do a test... block the surrounding with duct tape... just don't block the projector. Just do it on the lens and then take it off when done.

    I will get you a pic of mine against a wall, mine do not have that hotspot up top... i have depos with Philips H1 bulbs (6000k). Could be your bulbs are too long, not a quality set?


    Here are my depos ... they were not aimed in the picture but you can see there is no hot spot above




    Though your pic is close to the wall, there are two distinct "areas" of light on the wall versus mine being pretty wide... I would think that your bulbs are in wrong or something...

    I'll take a shot of mine tonight as well. It just doesn't look right in your pic... with the flares and all.
