9N Polo Headlight adjustment

Post by casperjjordaan »

Good day guys.

I need to know, is it possible to adjust the height of the dimms and brights separately? My dimms (HID) are shining at the exact spot i need them, but the brights (Normal Halogen) omw, the one is 1m in front of the car, and the other one lights up the trees. It is like a sack of balls, one hi one low. LOLOL

Is this do-able? There are 2 adjustment screws on the back of the light, but i think is adjusts the entire light up and down, and left to right. Is this correct? Can someone please shed some light (did you see what I just did there? :cool: ) on this topic for me please.

Did you put hid in a normal light? No , sadly dim and bright adjusts together.
You get this becuase the hid glob'e's focal point is not correct in a regular light asembly.

Take them out. Fit good quality halogen.. Have a happy life. That stuff just ain't designed for use in regular lights.

Rather put halogen bulbs (Phillips Diamond vision, racing vision etc)

HID's on without projectors they just pain to fellow road users.

I see many folks are fitting them without projectors - it's just wrong

If you do alot of night driving avoid DiamondVision, stick to natural white halogen

Some style with slightly better performance
WhiteVision
Cool blue intense

For performance
Xtremevision
Nightbreaker Laser
