i think i found out why those projectors have such a wierd cutoff.
the shield/guard thing isnt a straight line. i wish i would have taken off the projector and measured the size. maybe find a good replacement.
i eyeballed the aiming tonight so hopefully im not blinding people too bad. the wierd cutoff is kinda screwy looking while driving. high beams look great. still might try to upgrade the high beam bulb though.
i have one more day off before going back to work so i MIGHT take one of the housings off and take of the projector off and measure it. anyone do this already? i want to find a projector that i can use HID balbs in. and that has a more straight cutoff

well my curiousity got the best of me again. i took one of the housings off to try and find out why the projectors have such a wierd cutoff. but before i did that i checked the projectors on my rx7. hella 90mm has the same type of cutoff shield thing. but instead of a step, it has more of a slope. soooo on to the pics........
back of housing. notice anything wierd yet
how about now?
are all projector housings oval?
found why they have that stepped cutoff

thanx...it was eating away at me and i just had to find out what the hell was up with it...i blame that on the military and my job...i hoping the only reason that warning label is on there is because of the wiring....so im gonna redo everything the right way....if it melts the housings you guys will be the first to know and with pics lol

on the drive home tonight i noticed alot of extra reflected light from the sides..i THINK its from the fake chrome in the housings catching some light from the projectors and reflecting it where ever it feels like...you can actually see what im talking about in all the pics..just the low beams are on but it looks like the highs are too...ill post pics of the output pattern tomorrow
i redid the wiring for the headlights and also made the low beams stay on even with high beams on...i hear having the hids flash on and off (going from low to high and back again) is really bad so thats why i did that
