Everyone come judge my skills and HID cut-off: v-How do I tune these things? (1 Viewer)

You do need to have some distance ....25-28 feet will do and my rule is about 3 feet high. Which puts your lights at the bottom edge of most sedan's outside mirrors. As far as a razor sharp cutoff ....I don't have the answer for ya....I've never worked with the TSX projector but one of my brackets and a D2S 5.0 projector can fix it

You're the second person to mention that to me today. My arm's twisting.

This is what I ended up with. I set height at 36". I feel the throw is kind of short still, though.

That does seem really short .... raise them up... if you don't get flashed you are good. Are TSX projectors Bi Xenon?

 

[MongooseGA]

No they aren't.

Those are really low man. When you had told me I was thinking low, but not that low!

 

[MongooseGA]

Well sonuvabich.

What height should I be looking for then? Or should I be measuring off of the lower arm of the step or the upper?
