Maybe I should invest in a new HID kit? They're not that expensive anyway. About the price of replacement bulbs.

That looks about how it should as far as beam height. My lights are aimed so that they project only slightly closer to the ground on a garage door at 10' away than they are off the ground at the headlights. My fog beams hit the door about a foot, maybe a bit more, lower than the centers of the low beams. Night visibility is great, and no one has flashed high beams at me for improper aiming, so I'd say it's a good positioning for everyone.

You could do that, and mount the old kit with the 8000k bulbs in your fogs. Order a 4300k or 6000k kit for the low beams, and then you'll be styling and seeing well.

the car is on a slight incline so the cut off looks at normal height. My right beam is low. My friend drove in front of me and observed them.
Im going to search for HID bulbs/ kit.


I also have a feeling the bulb may not be seated right. Imma have to look at that possibility.
