Hodaka Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) You got a pic? Ideally against a wall from a distance of like 30ft. Edited January 25, 2017 by Hodaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Depo? Or Spec-D / Junyan? If it's the latter, it doesn't look like the bottom one on this does it? Edited January 25, 2017 by Hodaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 You know the aim of the USA headlights will be off right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargara Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Doubt its Depo, i never had to shim my bulbs for bright spots or the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yeah I do get the impression Depo is better quality than Spec-D / Junyan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aashenfox Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Scotzman, if it turns out they are LHD and not suitable for you, let me know how much you want for them. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ill post the MOT pass up in june Ekona's right though. If your headlights are for LHD the beam pattern will be wrong, which would be a cause for failure. If you look at my pic above, the left hand side of the beam is higher than the right. If your headlight is for LHD, it'll be the exact opposite. Poop picture as I couldn't be bothered to upload my own, but here's a pic from the MOT guidelines: Or if you want to take a proper look it's in section 1.8 of this PDF. Ill post the pics up shortly with lights against the wall and blue spot Sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Even if it does pass because you have a hooky tester, it's also bloody dangerous for others on the road who have to stare into your dazzling lights.

Hodaka Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 As Requested... Regards Hmmm... I'm afraid I can't really tell toooooo much from those, but it looks like you have an insanely intense hot spot. I say this not only because of the output on the wall, but also the light output on the ground. You can clearly see 2 beams, and they're both quite narrow. If that is the case, there isn't much that can be done. It's not due to bulb alignment, but more of the design of the headlight. It actually almost resembles the bad light beam that I showed you in my pic above (bottom of the 2), but slightly better as it doesn't have the circular dark patch. Also it looks like the passenger side one is aimed very far right. I'd aim that further left if I were you. Please take all of the above with a pinch of salt. I've been getting into headlights / projectors (weird hobby I know!), but I'm far from an expert! In terms of pic, a little further back and against a flat wall would be ideal. Kind of like this but without bricks (if possible): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargara Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's hard to please Hodaka with headlight pics, I still havent been able to satisfy his exacting standards either flat carpark, night-time, far enough away, non-coloured/brick wall thats smooth etc Your eBay link doesnt seem to work though Scotzman, you have the facelift LEDs but your Item number links to pre-facelift headlights?

Hi Sargara, they are pre-facelift lights according to the site... all u do is put the number 112280174311 in ebay search bar and it will show you the headlights, i was assured by the seller all i have to do is adjust the throw of them.. I will do as you suggested tonight with the lights. Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
