ALOT OF THE GROUND

[fastpolak]

That looks extremely dangerous. Yikes!

Did you adjust them? You cant just look at the little level, you need to park on a flat surface and then adjust them so the beams on high are centered on the centerline of the light and at the same level as the light then if you switch on the low beams the lights should shift down and to the right.

[mookish]

Looks like you just need to adjust them...

[KMFDM26]

Thats worse than mine! My pattern looks similar (like the budwieser crown on the ground) but mine is definetly brighter (HID). You need to try to adjust them.

I had a similar experience with these headlights... I'm still trying to get my $$$ back... People had warned me about the low quality ebay headlights... but I was stubborn and gave them a shot... I knew going into it that they might be bad... they are not only bad they are horrible quality...

here are some pics installed, during installation the adjustors broke.

That is why I go hella or nothing. While those have angel eyes you cannot see at night, it is not safe for you or anyone else!

I re-installed my old headlights and am in the process of buying new ones, I'll probably go with P39's they seem to be popular and decent quality, I saw a thread where people where talking very good about them.

issac, I have the same projectors as you and they do this:

Damn! Are those P39's?

[jokergerm]

my adjusters are broken.

totally broken

[waapples]

that sucks.. and this was my worst fear when debating at the time, i ended up going with used set of xenon hella AE headlights...

I have same pattern, and I have DEPOs, 5000 Xenon. HAve had them about 4-5 years now

[Jason5driver]

Brandon's headlights puts everyone's, (including mine), to shame.... LOL

Dont think you have the same ones... mine are knockoffs from fleebay...only paid 205 for them... i'm thinking about going with P39's...

[e39dream]

that is downright horrible, my oem halogens were miles ahead of that.

I'd like a set of these lights to experiment on but I'm not willing to pay very much for them. Maybe put some real projectors in + a HID kit.

[jokergerm]

so anyone looking to buy x3racings lights

JUST LOOK AT MY PICS lol..............

If you were keeping the car, I would invest in some P39's...

I'll see what I have to work with as far as $ goes after this weekend and drop you a PM Isaac.

The next time Brandon posts that fricking picture and fails to tell you guys that he has 50W HID kit installed I'm going to erase the post. What is the point of telling people "you can have this" but not telling them that they wont be as bright with a 35w kit?

Secrets FTL.

+1 Mark, it's confusing when he does stuff like that. I also noticed that you haven't mentioned you have access to an aluminum adjuster kit to fix the problem. They do work with these lights...correct?

Sorry about your bad experience Joker but if you have time and feel comfortable with DIY, then you could just fix the adjusters, get those suckers aimed properly and be able to see at night once again. Did you see my posts responding to your "I hate my lights" thread with the links to the DIY? Just trying to be helpful...

[e39dream]

no, they dont. The aluminum adjusters are ONLY for HELLA 2001-2003 e39 lights. Everything else is plastic junk for adjusters.

Bummer man, at least I tried. I'm guessing he can still use the updated plastic ones that are mentioned in the DIY. You can see that they are a different color material (possibly more durable?). Then Joker will at least have a working set of headlights without the hassle of trying to return an electrical item that has been installed or taking a hit and burning his original investment by throwing them away. From my experience, most vendors will stonewall you on a return of previously installed electrical components...however, I have twisted some arms and gotten my money back.

I have the x3racing headlights and thay are just as good as stock or maybe a little better. I'm going to put some HID's in soon.
Mine look waaaaay better then JOKERGERM's for sure.(thank god) I guess I got lucky.
