My new headlights!

Sorry, i dont have any pictures, but i do have a question. I'm really happy with my xenon replacements. I'm happy with them when they are on low...Although they do need some tuning. But when i switch to high beams.... ovbisouly evertying is brighter, but they shine on the road really bright...like they were put in backwards....But i made sure i checked and they are in right.... Could it just be some major headlights aiming issue? Tell me what sup Thanks!

You'll want to park your car about 10 yards from a nice flat wall - preferably at night. Use the wall to adjust your headlights - it's normal for the high beams to aim higher than the low beams. Adjust the low beams so that they are about waist high. That should be close enough but just use the wall and make sure that both headlights are level. Set the height to what you desire i just usually make it about waist high on the wall. The brights should not matter as much, you won't be using them with on-coming traffic anyways so if they point a little high that's normal and ok!

BTW: Did you get the Xenon non-sealed beam replacements for the HID lighting?

I just got the housing replacement & bulbs too that supposedly were for a toyo taco and i noticed that the head light bulb plug didnt match the wire like i had to turn the wire upside down so it could slide on the plug and i noticed i couldnt see **** and the light was like up and to the right so i took out the housing b/c on the housing it says top and bottom well i put the bottom on top and walla now everything is right and the plug connects like it was supposed to not upside down and i can see my headlights on the ground again...

Yes, i did get the xenon none sealed beam housing. They are great. I will try the wall idea....Thanks But when the highbeams are on, they shine really bright on the road...What i mean by that is they are pointed into the ground....So the ground about 2 feet in front of the car is almost as a sunny day I thought i put them in upside down but turns out they are not. I will just use the aimer i guess. Thanks for all your help Rotorific, and T24U

What headlight replacements are you guys using? I know they have a few kind on ebay. How well do those work, if you know.

I got the ones for 29.99 the ones that say they are the "not cheap replacement" well, it looks like they are cheap, but shipping is like 22 bucks, so in the end it was 55.29 but i LOVE them, they mae driving so much sweeter..... I reccomend. The only problem i had was the bulb covering was not centered. But it doens't make much of a difference while driving.
