PS: i really love the 5000k but wish it was a little bluer, but i still loves but to bad i have to take it all out soon b/c i have to get my headlight unit fix cause unfortunately its not seal properly and water get:mad: anywya thanks for readin and thanks in advance for your help.:thumbup:

the cut off line is normal...my cut off line also has the yellow thing....dun really notice it tho...

no, thats not wat i meant, i meant there is no cutoff line on the driver side where there's one on the passenger side. is that normal?

ohh my bad...well both usually have a cut off line...maybe the bulb isnt seated properly...

have you try facing the wall to see if you have the cut off lines?

nope haven'tt tried that yet, haven't really got the time to do all that i just installed it not to long ago and was kind of tire from it since me and my friend wasted 2 hours! trying to install the bulb from the bottom and then mistaken the positive side for the negative side:egads:. but i'll probally do that soon and take some better pics before i take them out.

Yellow cut-off line is completely normal for 5000K HIDs. Our lens' aren't that great and most will produce a yellow cut-off color for temps up to 6000K.
Don't worry about uneven cut-off line too much because it's a quick fix. If one side points higher than the other, a. check to see if both the bulbs are secured completely by both metal clips for each side of the harness...if they are completely secured go onto step b.---> use a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust your cut-off height. This shouldn't take you longer than 5 mins at night. BTW, make sure your car is level and have your car facing a garage or a wall when you adjust the cut-off height.

One more thought, if you really want that nice cut-off color I suggest you retro-fit some TSX projectors/lens' as they are one of the top projectors and lens' out in the market.

Hope this made any sense or helped.

yeah...try shining it on a wall...can see if it has cut off line or not...try to check if you position the bulb correctly...might be tilted or something...

one quick question, how exactly do i adjust the cutoff line can oyu elaborate please:p how exactly do i adjust it with a phillip? pics?:D. i would love to retro fit my projector but the one person i know that know how to is this friend of mine and me and him got a bad past so dont really want to ask him bout anything or for anything.

k thanks i'll probally try to do that tomorrow or somethin and replace those pics with better ones. thanks

im gonna have to agree with the above posters, make SURE your bulb is seated properly... sometimes it may feel 'in' but its not, as for the yellow... sorry i have no xp with 5000k and less hids... stock is 4300k and you went with 5k :uh: so dont expect much color change... 6k imo is the best balance between output and looks.

adjusting the cutoff, its in the manual ;) p. 31x'ish

no i dont mean why is the cutoff line or the light output is yellow im askin why is it that one side has a yellow cutoff line and the other side dont.

OOO...I just completely based my post on your first post. Just make sure both of them are held in completely. Unless, they gave you a wrong 2nd bulb, they should look identical with one another.

hey guys here's some better pics, hope it explain things better

you cant clearly see it but the driver side has a blueish purple cutoff line while the passenger has a yollowish ornage cutoff. IS THIS NORMAL????

No, that is not normal... sorry :sad: its like you have 2 different bulbs.

Have you ever crashed the front of your car?

i hope you got that from one of the CL vendors, its my understanding that XD is really great with customer service and they take care of the ppl here.
