Default HID PROBLEMS - GOT NEW KIT BUT AIMING IS OFF.

I bought a new Mcculloch 6000K Kit. I have installed many in vairous cars, but when i put this new set in my Scion tc, the aiming is way off. They are facing down at the ground. So Basically I can see 15 feet in front of me and then nothing. So I went and raised my head lights up to where normal low beams should be and bam, the HID low beams are fine, but now the high beams are spot lighting the trees. I have check my installation and checked everything.

Any one have any solutions or any way to alighn only the high beam or low beam or any modification.

Chris.

I dunno man... I guess check to make sure the bulbs are seated properly in the housings. Sorry, thats my only suggestion.

how or where did you aim them? Try this. its a step by step guide. also keep in mind the reflector for any car not originally equipped for HID's will react differently with a HID bulb in it. it just may be the reflector too

here you go. step by step instructions

Default HID PROBLEMS

I have the bulbs seated correctly, they are just aiming lower than normal. So it looks as if the glow is maybe 2mm or something off, So what i think needs to happen is the bulb be pulled about 1 or 2 mm back from where there at now to match the filament of the oem bulb.

So I have no clue either, i guess I just need to put some projectors in and adjust them so that the high beam is perfect and the now beam is right under them
