I take your post deeply into consideration. The first night i took the car out after installing i thought these aren't that good, and i got high beamed twice.

After thought for the next day, waited til the next night, lined my missus satria gti up ( slightly the same height) and my impreza up, and set mine exactly the same, to the same side throwing out as well. Since then i have had no high beaming, and have had it passed when pulled over for a "random car inspection".

What halogen globes do you recommend ? i am all keen for trying anything, i do a bit of highway driving ( missus parents live in Busselton, we drive home by the highway when we come home from bunbury to our house), and i have found the HIDS are great for sign lightage and seeing on the sides, they pick up pieces of glass and eyes on the side of the road quite well.

yeah i see stock 4wheel drives with hids and they are blinding

i figure as long as you adjust them to the right hight as they dont blind people should be ok.

Will they be projected correctly, or will the light scatter?
