Please read whole paragraph, it has pertinent information as well as a question. Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I just purchased a set of Prodrive UK300 lights. These are not the Triplus, but genuine Prodrive from the UK. They came with all Hella optics, and Hella Hid D2S. I installed them yesterday afternoon, and waited until dark to aim the lights. Saying I'm disappointed with the aiming and distance of the light is an understatement. The leveling motor is not hooked up(no harness or switch) so I took each headlight cluster off and one at a time slowly turned the adjustment screws evenly on each projector. Then I'd put it back on and then re-adjust. I went through the entire range of adjustment for the left and right screw, and I can't get the drivers side projector to shine more than 25 ft in front of the car, plus there is no light off to the left side of the car(no width). The passenger side projector shines off to the right and way up in the air. Now what the hell am I doing wrong, I've aimed headlights before, but never projectors. I can't get my cutoff pattern to look anything like pictures on this site, plus they seem to be way out of whack, plus I'm not getting any distance. The guy I bought them from purchased them painted in WRB from a rally school in Tenessee, but had them repainted black when brought home to Toronto...... could they have messed something up when disassembling the lights for paint? Please help. Rick
