Well I got some projectors, but Im not pleased with the driver side projector. For some reason it almost does not have a cut off line. The pas. side projector has a nice blue/purple cut off line thats crisp with bright clear light. The driver side has a faint blue/purple cut off harly visible, and the light is not clear as the pas. side projector, and above the cut off line is a blur of light. I have been surching about how a projector works and it said something about the cut-off line shield. I changed out lights and it had the same affect, so its got to be the projector. Does anybody know what this could be or how to fix it?

I had sort of the same problem with my old projectors, the light just didnt seem bright enough. I may be stating the obvious but check the lens of the projector, it may be cracked (which was the case with my old ones). P.S. Do NOT use the aftermarket higher wattage bulbs. The projectors may not be strong enough to handle the heat and crack.

the lens doesn't look cracked. Can you tell if its cracked by looking at it, like is it something internal?

you can tell just by looking at it.

no the high beams use h1 and the projectors use h3, I just looked to make sure and its not cracked. Im thinking its the shield for the cut off line, since that directly makes the line. If it was how would I adjust it?

Thanks
