I've done this and they have what seems to be the right cut-off and height but i've had a couple people tell me my left output is higher then the right. Haven't had any issues with oncoming traffic but just curious if it is normal and if not how to re-aim them

Damn. Nice cutoff!

Guys this is totally off topic, but we are on the topic of lighting! My dad has a 08 HR 350z. I drove it at night not too long ago, and the projector cutoff is A LOT better, and it has a blue cutoff whereas my OEM projectors don't. Differences??

I haven't had anyone flash their brights at me in my G35, but they used to do it all the time when I had my F150 (stock halogens). One guy did it while sitting across the intersection from me at a stop light. I flashed mine back to show that they weren't my brights. I guess that pissed him off because he flipped on his brights and left them on. I kindly returned the favor.

Tinting your windows helps.
My auto-dim rear view mirror hasn't had to work since the day I had my windows tinted. Conserving energy!

Here's a thought...

They probably weren't hi-beaming and honking because of your lights ( I never get that ).
That usually means "look out" for something ahead. 99% of the time, that's the case.

You probably just didn't see what they were trying to warn you about.

I've driven past a few people doing that to me and thought to myself "that's odd" before I crested the hill and find a cow standing in the middle of the road.

Yes. I've read that article probably 5 times. I was wondering about the differences between 06-08 Z projectors and G coupe projectors. Seems they are a tad bigger, but besides that I'm clueless.

never thought of that, will definitely take that into consideration. But I was at a 4 way intersection yielding to make a left and the person directly across facing me from me decides to highbeam me for no reason. As with all the other cases, there were no obstructions on the road.

My cutoff is fine, I inspected it on my garage door. The headlights are stock aswell. People are just ignorant/rude over here in california lol
