HID Problems
#31
Shouldnt it look a lot like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMMQF...layer_embedded I tried tinkering with it again tonight, same results. High beam is basically the exact same. I guess i really need to find some level ground, but i tried on my driveway and the beams are aimed pretty good to say the least. Im gunna try to take a video of it with my HD camcorder, but i gotta buy the upload disc so itll be a few days..Guess ill just have to live for a bit.

Even if your beems aren't aimed perfectly, they should still be plenty brighter when it's super dark outside on a country road. If you're worried about not being able to see a deer far away enough that the HIDs can't reach, then maybe you should keep your speeds down on those roads at night. They are already way brighter than stock lights and you should be fine.

First things first, I just want to say that I skimmed through this thread and I'm not sure if it's already mentioned or not.
I bought a 5k bi-xenon kit from Spike in December. I installed it and had the wiring wrong, I mixed up the red/black/white wire so that the high's were the low's and visa versa. Anyways, check that to make sure you have the wiring correct.
Next, like Spike said, if you're hearing a clicking noise and you see the pattern change for the discharge of the lights, then they're working. You should just tinker with the leveling of the lights until you're happy.
I was using the stock housing when I installed mine and on top of that my headlights were foggy. I cleaned them out and they worked great, but you should still notice a difference from high to low beam.
For instance, I had mine set low towards the ground because of people thinking my high beams were on, just set it slightly lower than you normally would. And to set them up, I went in back of my job, price chopper, you can go to your local walmart or some type of building where they have a loading zone for trucks, they're usually a big area so they can turn around etc... and aim them there.
