i've seen them with HIDs and the hot spots are even worse.

 

really ?? (not being sarcastic) where did you see them? any pictures? or did you see them in person? Nakioki is the only person i know so far on all scion forums with actual pictures (minus the first poster who didnt reply back and such)

 

thats because the first poster works for the company and was posing as a person that was really excited to get the headlights (to promote the product)

This would also explain why the first poster made the exact same first post VERBATIM in every other Scion forum I am a member of.

 

the first poster said they were HIDs in them, and the pics are on page 5 as you've already seen. hot spots galore.

 

you have to take into account that the lens is not positioned properly, so the light might be spread evenly if the lenses are rotated how they should be.

And even if the cutoff isnt horizontal as it should be, the cutoff seems very sharp, and should be easy to fix by rotating the lense.

 

you can adjust the rotation but cannot fix how well the projector spreads out the light

 

well, if you look @ page 5 .. his lights are not straight. if you striaghten out the lights, i think the middle where the light gap will be filled in even.

i'm not exactly sure what part of the lights you are talking about but if you look @ maximus96's lights, they kinda fade out near the edges too (if you're not talkin about that part .. then nvm :X

 

^^true but it looks like Max is further away

 

i was talking about the hot spots....compare them. you will still blind ppl with those projectors as compared to maximus's where his light is evenly distributed THROUGHOUT

 

well. idunno, i might not know anything cuz i personally dont own either projectors. but the reason why i think it will be fine is that if you look @ the vertex guy's lights, he is beaming them really really really close compaired to max's where he is further away.

but i totally agree w/ you on max's lights where they are totally even throughout

 

yes but see.. this is what people are jumping in to now... yes there is a hot spot when you are close..

TRUST me on this... I Tried this before being far away from my car and even driving front of it and opposite of it.. I didnt get any glare or i didnt get blinded. The hotspots DOES show up when you are REALLY close to the wall.. I am still trying to perfect my aligns right now. Yesterday i aimed them too low lol..

The only way you will be blinded by these headlights is if you actually try to blind yourself. Come on now you'll be speeding thru or pass by and you wont get blinded. unless you go close to my car and stare at the bulb or projector. thats a different story. I'm gonna make a video to show you guys...

This is why i cant wait to get my replacement HID bulb...

now where was i...

oh ilovemytc... thanks for adding me =] and yes lets call them ebay lights.. seriously i dont know the name of this headlight...

 

umm... i tried both adjust turns thingee.. and one brings down the cut off and one spread its out or puts em closer to each other. But i didnt find anything that rotates it...

 

well i cant back what i said yet... cause i havent tried these with HID... but i do know the halogen bulb havent blinded me... but umm we'll see i guess. Im not tryin got say your BSing or someting no no no.. I think you're right cus HID is much brighter.. but hopefully this can be fixed =]

 

yikes, 17 pages going on 18! i think i posted like 40 replies on this thread alone!

the "i've seen them with hids and the hot spots are even worse" part from brian, he is referring to seeing the pictures on page 5 with the HIDs from the Vertex guy

 

hmm? im confused.. he didnt see it in real life?

 

 

*hit myself on the head*

i see i see... well we'll see then... I wish i have 130$ to spend for replacements right now...


finals are over today wooohoooo!

 

where are you gonna get the replacemnt bulbs from? only place i know is ebay :X hahaha

 

ebay bulbs!!! those must be ricer!! rofl wheres the ricer guy with his cracks when you need them.

 

hmm.. when it comes to bulb that costs more than 50 i cant turn to ebay. as much as i want to i cant...

I can go to my friend and get McCulloch bulbs since i have the same brand... but it's 125$ its prolly my last resort. Right now im tryin to find some stores... Im heading towards Super Autobacs today and see if they have some...
