I hear you. This is a very narrow road I am on, out in the middle of nowhere. On a regular road my cutoff comes down at about 1/4 of the road on my side before the middle line. I might play with it a bit more but like I said no flashing all last night. We will see how it goes.

One thing I’m noticing with the headlights is when I move the left light cutoff to the right it also travels down....so I have to adjust the height afterwards, doesn’t do this on the passenger side one, I’m weary about cranking it anymore as I’ve read that the adjustment components can fail if manipulated too much.

 

It should do this on the passenger side, but more likely in the opposite direction.

The adjustment components are basically a loosely mounted bolt and nut. And just most nut & bolt pairs, if you over crank it when its tight, it'll strip the threads. This is made even easier because the nut is likely plastic too. Of course, if you over crank it in the opposite direction, it could simply pop out. That isn't "as bad," but not very easy to fix unless you're comfortable taking headlights apart.

When I lived in San Diego, I had drove a Mitsubishi Mirage (aka Lancer) and swapped out the H4 headlight for a H1+H3 headlight. And for one of the bulbs, one adjuster came completely off, so I had to use a piece of coat hanger wire to hold it in place.

The two adjusters are basically two of three mounting locations that hold the inner headlight to the outer shell. So, it should be easy to imagine that a particular adjuster moves the headlight around an imaginary line that goes through the other two mount points. So, like a triangle, no matter what orientation you put it, at least one will cause it to pivot in both horizontal and vertical directions.

That said, while I'm purely guessing, it should be okay so long as the angle isn't extreme. Though I suppose it could be a tight fit with little room for it to move to begin with. If you feel it getting a little hard to turn, you might be at the limit.

 

Can you please send a picture or something that clarifies where the DRL harness plugs in to the fuse box and in to the headlights, i cant seem to find where position 30 is in the fuse box; well i did find it but i dont trust the source because their location 30 isn't headlight related. Also, my headlight set from TRS didnt include any instructions.

Thanks a million for this info, i will upload pics after i finish this install. Again many thanks.

 

Did you end up getting this figured out? I can take a pic of what the fuse panel should look like if you still need it.

 

what’s the purpose of the harness and where does it plug the exterior or interior fuse panel?

 

A picture of where this plugs into a how it comes off the fuse box would be awesome.

Also I heard the DRL stays on about 5 mins after you turn off the car, would this merit a yellow top battery upgrade?

or maybe some coilovers? I dunno. Lol.

 

do your low beams stay on along with the DRL, because mines do and I my understanding was only the LED strips should stay on.

 

So I just got off with retrofitsource as morimoto replied to me stating that these headlights aren’t serviceable so we can’t replace the bulbs, are these still worth it considering that factor?

 

I had the same thought when i bought mine but, got them anyway. its been 4 months now and no issues so far. they do have warranty and from what ive heard these bulbs are long lasting. If they go bad in 2 -3 years just chalk it up to the price u pay for being cool.

 

I’ll email them back and see if they can just swap them for a projector kit as I didn’t really want to do that since these were plug and play. I also went back to the listing and they compared them to their fog lights as they are also built in the same and seem to hold up after 5+ years but I wished they had actually be more specific about it. The warranty it’s at 5 years but does it cover the LEDs as they are wear and tear if we can say regardless of it they are pretty good compare to those $300 cheap projector headlights.

 

So right now i haven’t hooked up the DRL plug bit but, yes you are right only the strips should stay on. Maybe you have your head lights set to auto?

 

i ended up removing the fuse as they would keep on but regardless of it I ended up returning the headlights back

 

Sorry to hear that man.
Well, now you can look at those taillights with the waterfall effect.
Another fun project that will bring frustration, maybe a cut on the finger and then pride. . . Lots of pride.

 

actually I didn’t like the reflector taillights on the hatch, I ended up wrapping them in black vinyl.
But wil definitely be doing a retrofit next year.
