Winjet headlight aiming (left to right)
 
So it seems my winjets are aimed as if on a RHD setup and I'm in Canada LHD
They are pointing to the left and I'm sure they are blinding people coming towards me and I can't see the right shoulder at all
I have aimed them as best I can up and down but to have them effective seeing forwards it ends up blinding others I think

I have a real D2S lens system coming which I will retrofit over the winter but until then my headlights suck :(

Any ideas on how to correctly aim the left-right?

Did you sort it out the alignment yet?

Sorry for the bump... but did anyone ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

2x yellowish turn-able knobs in the back (idk what they are called). Face your car 3 yards away from a wall and adjust the cut offs. I believe one knob is left and right, the other one is up and down. Hope this helps.

When I installed mine, I used the OEM cut-off as a reference; Beaming towards the wall and using tape on the wall. And than match the same cut-off when i put on the winjets.

It would really help to know which knob does what. Both of mine seem to be up/down adjustment.

I was adjusting my new winjet headlights today. The adjustment knob around the middle of the back of the headlight adjusts it up and down. The one on the far side adjusts it left and right.

LOL
Holy cold thread revival.

I still haven't corrected my left-right alignment :( I am the kind of procrastination :happyanim:

My left light shoots to the left and the right to the right.
The middle is kind of dark - not good.
Up and down is limited byt the lens hitting the chrom bezel in the housing - my car is lowered and that silly cut off is still too low.

But I see that there are other adjustment knobs that I will try next.

I also replaced the Winjet HID lenses with the Morimoto set up.
I wondered if I mixed up left and right - I assumed they weren't specific.

I'll try adjusting this weekend ;)
