Looking for Projector Headlight Aiming Or Alignment Expert?

[rostum]

I've just had my Montero Sport's headlamps replaced by HID xenon bulbs but the aim of light seems not properly aligned. The shop technician where I had my bulbs replaced can't properly set them to its proper aim adjustments.

I already tried DIY at home but unfortunately, I cannot set them to its right settings for already 2 days. Now, I've decided to just look for a shop/technician who can do the job right away.

Can anyone suggest/recommend me to a good shop?

TIA

just an idea from the net:

TO AIM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS:

1. Align your car dead center in your driveway....the front and back of your car need to be perfectly aligned in the center..

2. Pull your car up to the garage door...as close as you can get w/o hitting the door..dead center in the middle of the garage door / driveway.

3. Put a piece of tape where the headlight beams hit the garage door. This should only be smal dot of light...

4. Pull you car back 25'. Your Projector lens should be 25' away from the garage door...not your tires or your bumper...your headlights. DEAD CENTER IN THE DRIVEWAY

5. With tape Place a VERTICAL line that intersects each piece of tape that you put on the garage where your headlight beams hit. Use a yardstick or a straight edge t make it perpendicular to the driveway. This is important for aiming your lights right to left....this is just as important as up and down because if your lights are aimed to far left you will still be shining omcoming traffic in the eyes and if they are aimed too far right your not getting the most out of your light.

6. With tape place a horizontal line along the garage that intersects each piece of tape that you put on the garage where your headlight beams hit. They should oth be the same height off the driveway.

7. With tape place a horizontal line along the garage that is 2.1" lower than the tape you placed on the garage in instruction #6. This line should be parallel with the line in #6...just 2.1" lower.

8. Cover up the passenger side headlight with a thick towel.

9. Turn on your lights

10. Drivers Side UP/Down: Bring the lower step of the cutoff to or below the tape line that is 2.1" lower than your headlights...Dot Spec is 2.1" to 2.5" drop over 25'

11. Drivers Side Right / Left: The Vertical line on the drivers side of the garage should intersect the middle of the slant on the cutoff. Move the beam pattern until this is the case.

Moving the projectors from right to left may effect the height of the beam pattern. If this is the case..just go back and fine tune.

12. Cover the Drivers side headlight with a thick towel.

13. Repeat the UP/Down Left/Right procedure that you did on the drivers side with the passenger side. The vertical line on the passenger side of the garage is to be used for instersecting the slant in the cutoff on the passenger side headlight beam.

what makes this difficult is looking for the location where you can do it privately and the road must be level.

Try Autotechnika at the Fort. They also have that alignment service. As much as possible I don't recommend LA Cars.

totoo po yan sir, hindi maganda ang alignment sa L.A. Cars, 3x ko na nadala ang ride ko, ung last tym nga gabi ko pa dinala para mas direct sa road ang adjustment, kaso lang, medyo na-align lang ng konti pero ang problema naman, masyado ng lumubog ang projectors ko papasok dun sa frame nya, mga around 3/4 inch din ang lubog from the bezel, so ang naging effect nya, kulang tuloy ang light nya sa sides ng ride ko since masyado na syang pumasok, may maire-recommend kaya ang mga gurus dito na specialists sa projector alignment, nagsasayang lang kasi ako ng fuel papunta sa L.A. Cars pero walang nangyayari, sobrang trapik pa, please help me naman, iwas na lang sa shop na to kung alignment ang papagawa nyo...

Mukhang may ibang factors na hindi na di-discuss. The original bulbs installed are halogen bulbs and the projectors were designed for these bulbs. The cutoff is very visible pag halogen bulbs ang nakaka kabit and madali adjust yan. Pag nagkabit ka ng hid bulbs, magkakaroon ng glare above the cutoff kahit projectors yan, meron light scatter above kasi 3x more light being produced by the hid bulb so tricky ng konting yung adjustment pero pwede naman. Ginagawa dyan ng iba to compensate for this, binababa yung adjustment so meron disadvantage coz yung throw mag su-suffer naman. Kailangan alam nung nag a adjust yung theory kasi pag ginamit yung machine magkakaroon ng konting fault kasi meron light scatter. Going back to your question, autotecnika I heard nag aadjust. I cannot vouch for them kasi I've never tried them pero meron akong kilala who availed of their services. FYI, yung picture sa baba, hid projector yan with hid bulbs so very clear ang cutoff.
