HID query

[Dub_Dan]

hi guys had my HIDS fitted a few months back but i noticed they look down on the road quite a bit and they said they could not be raised? ive raised them as much as i can from the inside of the car using the little switch.
has anyone else got this problem?
cheers

You don't want them pointing up too much anyway. Blind other drivers

[Dub_Dan]

oh no mate i dont mean loads just a little bit i mean my old lights cover up more of the road i mean there no where as a bright as a the hids but they dont stretch forward the road.

[K.I.T.T.]

That's one of the problems of using HIDs in reflector lenses...they don't work that great. To pull them off properly, you'll need a pair of angel eyes with a projector lens.

I have just installed Xenon Bulbs from Halfrauds which look great and give out a much better light - but is it worth going for projector lenses? I have not noticed a shortened lit area and whilst lights like the FK Angel Eyes look nice, do you reckon chrome or black for a blue Polo 9n?

Cheers

black chrome looks silly, didnt like the angel eyes personally so i went for the day lines. look alot better and not many people have them

I had the same problem where i had a HID kit in my polo 9n3 and the light was not as great as my standard bulbs even when raised the the full.

The fix for this is: On the headlight it self is a self adjuster which you have to user an allen key, this fixed my issue

Just park the car up against a wall and adjust them both to the same level.

Hope that helps mate.

Yeah but you can't get Daylines for a 9n, can you? If so I'm all ears! Have only seen them for the 9n3..........

[umar-dub]

As far as i know they only do them for 9n3 and not for the 9n

[zedzo]

my bad dint realise the post was in the 9n section, yes there only for the 9n3 unless your willing to upgrade your front end
