don't know why the new theme of the site won't let me add this image url to the post but anyways,

tell me if i'm just trippin out or what not but when i took this pic straight on the driver side looks brighter than the passenger which looks faint. i put a board in front of my car and turned the low beams on they look like they are projecting the same?

is it suppose to look like that?

Mine looks like that too. Just one side is projecting more light to the ground then the other light.
You can adjust your projector on the back of the headlight.

your driver side headlight is aimed higher than the passenger headlight. it's how rhd cars are. in a usdm car, the passenger headlight is aimed higher than the driver headlight. it's to illuminate the side of the road where there is no oncoming traffic to blind.

I didn't when I had projectors. I found it dangerous regardless and projectors might as well be a dim flash light glued on to your hood.

Bricks are better by far, but still mediocre in light output.

If you want some decent headlights, do an HID projector retrofit from a TSX (Acura) or something. Much better, not to mention safer.
