It took me a few tries, but I finally have mine adjusted to where I am happy with it. When I first mounted them the drivers side was way low and to the left. Passenger side was just a bit low but also to the left.

How did you end up configuring you're high beam setup???

I spoke to 2 CZ4A owners in OZ that I did custom HLs for regarding the "flashing" issue..

Owner 1
* ADM Evo X MR with factory HID projector HLs (modified)
* High beam setup: FX-R projectors providing high beam (Twin set up only)
* Headlight wiring untouched

In the words of the owner:
....Yeah I can still flash the high beam if the low beam is off.. sometimes it takes a second to light up

Owner 2
* ADM Evo X GSR with factory Halogen HLs now fitted with JDM HID projector HLs (modified)
* High beam setup: Factory projectors providing high beam (Twin set up only)
* Headlight wiring untouched

In the words of the owner:
I just tested it. I just flicked the stalk and both the cut off activated and the light switched on. Basically done what it should, switch the high beam on and skipped the other two steps.

^^ I'd say there's a good chance that USDM CZ4As won't have issues with flashing high beam despite my earlier comments that they would...

I didnt change the high beam setup. The high beam bulbs sit in the high beam reflector next to the projector.

ok... so um....

what will I have to do in order to avoid any issues, run bixenon, and disable the halogen highbeam/dtrl completely?

and how the hell do you flicker you highbeams in base models lol?
I can only click it on and off. The quick pull and release method for the flicker is non-existent I tell ya!
