Winjets: Poor visibility?
 
My FR-S came with Winjets already installed and the light pattern is just horrid for night driving.
The light output itself is pretty spectacular... It's just not shining where it would be needed.
The light is WAY to the outskirts of the road. I tried using the adjuster that is hard to get to next to the fender, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Ideas?

Looks like aim is off and it's (probably) a crappy HID kit, so the bulbs aren't aligned either (as the winjets use H7 halogens)

First point them lower. You can see the glare on the top half of your garage door. You could probably band-aid fix them with some eyelids. Is it a 55w kit or 35w? 55w kits are usually too bright/glare for for halogen housings.

It's a 35 watt kit. FX is the manufacturer I believe.
I'll work to lower them some when I get home tonight.

What bulb size are in them? When I swapped in my winjets I used the h11 hid bulbs I was using with the oem headlights. The output was pretty horrible. Got proper fitting h7 bulbs and the output is much better.

You're using an HID bulb in a Halogen projector.. swap back to the bulb the headlight was designed for, or swap in a proper HID projector.

Aside from that, it looks like each light is aimed out waaaaay too much, especially the passenger one.

How do I bring the light in more? That's one of the things I've been trying to figure out for it.
