Hi, I bought proyectors on eBay, how can I know which one is the left/right side proyector? and How can I adjust the cutoff?

Thank you.

PS:Jumpman, tu auto esta de lo mejor, tambien pintare mis proyectores de negro, que pintura usaste? que le pusiste antes de pintarlos?

Hi, I opened my headlights, paint and install the projectors. After 3 weeks, water or condensation appeared in the left headlight, remove the headlight for two days I let it dry and apparently went all the moisture so I went back to put silicone around.
Wash the car today morning and in evening note that the two headlights had moisture in and also the left angel eye is not starting.
What do you recommend or suggest? How can I solve this problem and prevent the more moisture?

Thank you.

Make sure you push the lens into the housing all the way, and that the three screws all screw into place (one of my screws in each headlight won't screw into place, so I'm thinking that's what is causing my condensation problem). Also, the portion of the housing that engulfs the lens, make sure that's pinched down onto the lens.

guys i just installed HID 6000k last weekend and i noticed the glare and i think i am blinding the other drivers. This thread is talking about HID+projectors kit at once. Can I install projectors only so I don't have to buy the whole kit? any help asap please. I asked a friend of mine and he told me that the people who do it in our country will not do it correct to change the headlamps to have projectors in it. He mentioned that it needs to be aligned or something that I have to align the projectors itself. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I plan on getting a new set of headlights in a few months cause mine have taken a beating the last couple of years from rocks and the clear protectant is beginning to wear off on the lens. When I do I will get some better pics of the install. All I had was my phone at the time. I'm very happy with the outcome though and love the blacked out look.

Thanks for that . just trying to show the suppliers that the cut off
does not suit right hand drive cars

Had to reopen the headlight and fix it, was kind of a pain in the butt.

I will lower the passenger side when I get a new set of headlights in a few months. I didn't want
to cut into the reflector housing at the time to lower it more. I was surprised too at how low they
came out.

It may be hard to understand what I am saying so I will post a pic of the cutoff in the RHD projectors and hope this helps.

The first pic, 3 black circles shows how the h4 grooves are rotated to the right allowing more light to shine on the left and less on the right. You can see the cutoff shield how it is angled. The shield is on the bottom but when the light comes out of the projector it is upside down. The housing was sitting flat for this pic.

2nd pic is the housing sitting flat so you can see how the cutoff would look in a RHD housing. This would probably work without blinding oncoming traffic but the proper way would be to have the cutoff shield going the opposite direction, I don't know if they make these or not. Would need to ask someone who has stock hid in RHD housing.

3rd pic is the same projector in a LHD housing, 3 black circles show how the h4 grooves are flat. It looks like it goes to the left but it is because the whole housing was rotated when I took the pic, but it is not rotated left or right. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions you can pm me or post in here if brian does not care.

Brian, you should adjust that drivers side, you will see a huge difference in the way the road lights up.

Thanks for that Camel , but if i can't get the right cut off , then it's not worth the risk .
i do to much night driveing , to take short cuts on lighting ,
not to mention the fact it would not get a road worthy cert like that .
which it requires to pass every 12months .
