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

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.

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.

ahhhhh cheers ash! might have to invest in some FK ones.

get left hand drive ones, blind everyone and get sworn at

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..........

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

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
