JSR84 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 HID retrofit on my Edge Sport. The 2 beam patterns look significantly different. I've modified the bulb so they can be inserted with the wire down (for the most part). I've used 2 different sets of bulbs. the actual light output from the 2 headlights look to be the same but the right looks more focused.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I am assuming you had OEM halogen projectors? Whose kid did you use for the conversion? Can you take individual lighting pics (disconnect 1 at a time)? Maybe the headlights need aiming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 One's higher in the projector. Turn on the high beams. You'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSR84 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 One's higher in the projector. Turn on the high beams. You'll see. Can you elaborate on this? I installed the bulbs while the headlights were off the Edge and I was able to orientate the bulb with the wire down. They both looked seated correctly. As mentioned in the OP I've had 2 sets of bulbs and ballists in and they both do the same thing. Thats why I'm thinking its a problem with the projector? I turn the high beams on tonight against a wall and the beam pattern looked as you would expect, the right projector still had that strange pattern.

JSR84 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I couldn't really get a great pictures of the brights. I even turned the exposure all the way down. But here it is. I guess I don't really understand what you mean buy "Ones higher in the projector" They're both seated and oriented the same way. I'm not understanding how this could be. Thanks for the help!

Dingo Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 The bulb isn't seated correctly. The return wires should be other be oriented to the passenger's side of the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSR84 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 The bulb isn't seated correctly. The return wires should be other be oriented to the passenger's side of the bulb. The bulb is seated correctly. I had the headlights out of the car and trimmed the tabs so that when seated and locked, the wire on the bulb is facing down as is the standard on HID installs. But regardless, when I had the wire facing the way it does if you don't trim modify everything the beam pattern is the same. I really thing its a problem with the projector. I swaped around the bulbs and ballast today and the problem remains on the right side. bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
