I kind of messed up on the HID conversion and have to redo it. The aim is way too high.

i'm not sure if its your camera or your lens but it still looks grainy.

i don't care if you jack my thread name but the question is. DOES YOUR LIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS. haha. notice those sweet upside down U's on the floor. it looks soo sweet. you see it on S2000, 5 series, new 7 series and some other nice HID cars. I got these sweet upside down U after doing the clearing of my lens. you can see more pics here

Didn't the inverted U come from your fog lights? I wish I had a shorter headlight housing and bumper. The long bumper keeps me from an ultimate HID dream

As for the grainy picture, its the Sony P9 camera. Really weird. It's a 4 megapixel cam and it's grainy. I ask my friend for some ideas about the grainy ambience but alas....

my HID fogs are off.

try turning DOWN the ISO on your digital camera. that looks to be the problem. i have a long bumper too. but what i did was push the projector far up as possible. if you look closely my projector is about 1cm from the lens.

look at my bumper. this was last week before i painted my headlights back to chrome.

I pushed my headlights about as close as I could from the lens. Because of that, I lost my ability to adjust the cutoff line. The projector is VERY close to the lens. The cost = My cutoff is about a foot off and I'm blinding people.

I changed every setting there was and tested the digicam. I read that the ISO was a limiting factor in ambience capture for the P9 so I tried that too, but no results.

What did you use to paint your headlight chrome?

i just bought a bottle of chrome paint from kragens. forgot what brand name. but it look killer.

what do you mean you can't adjust your headlights that your projector is too close to the lens? mine was close to the lens too but i just kept turning the adjust ment screw and pretty much forced it to move.
