I don't have a high/lo hid though. I'm 98% sure anyway...the "highbeam" is on but to my knowledge that only controls the led strip in which is definitely not enough output to cause a disturbance like this.

That raises and lowers the cutoff in which I've done. .this is another problem. See how the right side just falls off? It appears things need to be rotated. . .the left side is a bit better as you can make out from the photo. I've flipped the bulbs two or three times just to be sure It was correct. Yet things didn't change much one way or another.

You don't need a high/low hid kit.. The projector has that built in, high beam function, a flap slides down for it to provide more light.. I can't see the picture, but judging by the comments, it sounds like you have it on high and the flap is down

I'll check it out in the morning then. I was unaware it's been built in. .interesting. Still the cutoff seems odd..till tomorrow though.

Appreciate all the comments guys. Thanks

I wanted one so much until I realized they are made by a Chinese company.
As a Chinese, I have no confidence with stuffs made by any Chinese companies.
Not saying the quality of the product is bad, but the quality check is where things happen.

So as an update (sorry about bombing the thread) it turned out the high beam being on was the cause. Yes I'm a fool..did not know these were fitted in such a way.

Still need to do some adjusting as they are extremely low and unfortunately I didn't take note of the height in which the oem ones were calibrated. But these are some sexy headlights ahah. Love em'

P.s. Does anyone know what the second knob closest to the fender-wells adjust.?

P.p.s. Did some more looking around must be the horizontal adjustment. Ugh I messed with it a bit when I was trying to figure out what was up with my pattern initially. It's such a pain to get to oh well, got to do what you gotta do.
