What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Finally got around to checking the aim on the new koito headlights with tungsram bulbs that i got from @slantsixdan
Heres the side by side comparison between the koito and the cheap wagners i had.
The koito housings are very well made and are high quality.
was a little tricky to get them aimed, mostly because my driveway isnt the flattest. It slopes down slightly once you get about 15 ft out, i put a piece of fine line tape on the bumper center of the grille and then pulled up as straight as i could and put a center line on the garage door to match the center of the car. I backed it up about 13 ft where it was almost level. then i measured out on each side the distance from the center of the grille to the center of the headlights and measured from the ground to center of the headlights. Using my measurements i put two cross hairs on the garage door. the left to right adjustment was pretty close but the pass side needed to come up a little.
This is at 15ft. When i backed up to 25ft the beam was about a inch higher than my line but the driveway slopes down slightly so i figured if it was level it would be about a inch below the line.
Took it for a quick spin and what a difference! The koito housings with the tungsram bulbs from @slantsixdan paired with the relay harness from @crackedback really put some light on the road, so much more enjoyable to drive at night.
