This has to be the first time someone on here has complained
about getting "FLASHED"
I have noticed the same problem since I converted to Xenon bulbs
maybe someone can help us out.
If I get to it first tonight I'll let you the size and direction to
adjust.

What bulbs did you use? Any rewiring required to make the switch to Xenon? |

Re: headlight adjustment
I'AM running an HID set i got on ebay and i believe porchette posted a link to the ebay store, they were like around a hundred i believe but they look much better than the regular bulbs you can buy, and they were "plug and play"

No with Xenon bulbs they are just plug in 9007 bulbs. I have Euro Dezigns Xeon Krypton. And you pick a color / temp of the bulb, I went with the 8500K.
I think they are much better looking than stock. 
And yes Matt I did not forget to let you know what size the torx was when ever I get to around to adjusting mine. 
Does the HID ones you have include ballasts?

Re: headlight adjustment
I never get flashed with mine. It is a lot of fun though to pull up behind a Miata or Corvette in an underpass and see them blinded when they come on automatically!
If you want the link, let me know or look up an old thread.

Re: headlight adjustment
Thanks. Are these the ones you purchased?
The install looks a little tricky? I thought they were just bulb replacements. It looks like a entire wiring kit, relay to battery to ballast to bulb???
And its $500?? wow.

Re: headlight adjustment
I used this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-H1...23QQtcZpho to it?s the same kit. The wiring was real easy it would have only taken 10 minutes but I had to make ground straps because of the fiberglass hood. I ran the grounds back to the horns and took a few minutes to figure out they were not a good ground due to heavy paint where the horns mount. These lights are absolutely awsome!!! Although  I really dont like getting flashed.

Re: headlight adjustment
stupid question, will the "high" beams still work when flashed?
I heard xenon lamps cant do high beams because of the gas in the bulb?
Does that make sense?

Re: headlight adjustment
I guess you figured it out but
Bi Xenon = Hi & Low Beam
Xenon = Low beam only
And even with the Bi's They are not brighter they just move the position of the bulb to shine higher.

There are cheaper ones.
I got BI Xenon with 2 different wattage in the filiment
so you can flash to pass.
