Did anyone who BOUGHT blacked out headlights from ebay or somewhere else, experience a little bit of fitment problems? like spacing b/w headlamp and bumper/fender? I wish i had pics, but i'm waiting til' it's dry and bright outside . Also, anyone dislike the amount of light output? or is it my adjustment? And how the hell do u adjust the headlights? would i have to take out them again? God that took forever.

HEADLIGHT AIMING

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS

Inflate tires to proper inflation
Adjust with full tank or put weight in trunk
Only load in vehicle should be the driver or 150 lbs in driver's position
Clean headlight lens
Adjust with car on level service 25 feet perpendicular to wall or screen
Rock vehicle side to side and up and down to allow vehicle to assume its normal position
Four lines of tape or markings on wall

1. Vertical tape aligned with the vehicle center line.
2. Horizontal tape aligned with the center-marks on the headlight lens
3. Tape corresponding to the distance from the center line of the vehicle to each headlight center.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.The low beam headlight should project on the screen just below or at the horizontal line.

2.If not the case, turn the adjusting screws located on top and behind the lens through a hole just medial to the inside headlight bracket

There is only one adjustment for the vertical since the horizontal aim is preset.

The instructions mention when adjusting one headlight, disconnect the other headlight harness.

Also do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.

High-beam pattern should be correct when the low-beams are adjusted properly.


You mean this type of alignmentor what archangelite is talking about?

 

damn .. fitment problems? ... thats really bad. lemme guess... the part of the headlight on the side where the parking light is kinda sticks out of the fender?

 

well. the fitment problems are fine now. i just trialed and errored it, and got it to fit in good. there is SOME space, but not enough to be a big problem, considering it rained the other day REALLY hard, and nothing was harmed. My problem now is the ANGLE OF THE BEAM, God. can the dealership do it for me? i mean seeriously? i cant see sh*t hardly on the road. and the "slannted beam look on the street kills me..makes me wanna sell these back, and get the stock back out..haha. ya know?
