PLEASE NOTE: In most cases, all bulbs are initially set to an optimal operating angle and adjustment is not always required.
Adjusted bulb angles have a direct impact on driving safety. Proper headlight adjustment is critical both for your vehicle and oncoming vehicles.
On these bulbs, you can easily adjust the angles specifically for the lights of your vehicle.
STEP 1. Rotate the bulb relative to the lamp base.
NOTE: On some bulb models, the bulb can be rotated by twisting it along a spring-loaded stop. On other bulb models, a set screw must be loosened with the appropriate hex wrench. These kits use a 1.27mm or 0.05 standard hex key or allen wrench for the set screw.
Caution! Be careful when adjusting the bulb angle since adjustment may cause blurry cut-off line and unfocused low and high light beams.
STEP 2. Rotate the bulb in the headlamp housing until the optimal beam pattern is found. Tighten the set screw if loosened in Step 1.
STEP 3. The bulb is adjusted and installation can be completed.
Caution! We recommend adjusting bulb angles only if absolutely necessary.
For some headlamp assemblies, space is tight for fitting the new bulb. The heat sink can be temporarily removed so that the bulb can be installed and secured, after which the heat sink can be reinstalled.
Caution! Do not leave the heat sink off the bulb, as doing this may cause the bulb to overheat, or will shorten the life of the bulb.
STEP 1. Loosen the heat sink lock screw with the appropriate hex wrench. Do NOT remove the screw, just loosen it enough that the heat sink can be rotated.
STEP 2. Unscrew and remove the heat sink from the bulb.
Caution!
A. Be careful not to damage the bulb power wire.
B. Do not touch the threads as they have thermal paste and this can negatively influence heat dissipation.
STEP 3. Insert the bulb into the headlight housing, and secure the bulb with the retaining clip.
STEP 4. Reinstall the heat sink, and secure it by tightening the lock screw.
In your kit are sheets of self-adhesive tinted plastic, in both blue and gold. You have the option to install these around each bulb in order to change the bulb’s color.
STEP 1. Remove one of the tinted pieces from its backing sheet.
STEP 2. Wrap the tinted plastic around the clear plastic sleeve.
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure that the adhesive side is facing the bulb.
STEP 3. Press down on the sheet to insure that it is laying smoothly along the bulb.
PLEASE NOTE: Check local ordinances regarding the legality of driving with tinted headlamp bulbs.
