AVS007,

Thanks for the 411. I played around with it actually it is the screw directly to the right of that. That was my fault for not having a better picture.

Next question is does the projector have a horizontal adjustment? Pls. see picture and let me know if I got the right screws.

 

I don't think that other one is horizontal. I thought that was to adjust verticle aim of the fogs. Do you need to adjust your horizontal aim? They seemed fine to me from the factory. I wouldn't know how you'd aim them anyways, as I've never seen a chart/diagram showing how to properly adjust horizontal aim.

 

You may be correct to say that the other screw is for the fogs.

Just by eyeballing the light pattern my passanger side projector light seem to throw light further out to the right. While the driver side projector seem to throw less light to the left even after vertical adjustments. A visual inspection on the lens them selves look to me like the passanger side pt. more to the right while the driver side pt. more straight-on which is why I wanted to know if it could be adjusted. If there isn't which I agree with you that there isn't a horizontal adjustment then there isn't much I can do about it.

I appreciate you responses!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

 

That might actually be normal, for a left-hand drive car, because traffic signs and such will be on the right.

Does your output look like the pictures that I posted? (My pics (all but last two) are the ones in the first post of this thread)

I remember several months before I bought my 06' lights, I was talking to someone who mentioned trying to get the 06' lights in Tokyo (since the 05' asian models had projectors), and them saying that it wouldn't work, because the lights are aimed differently between LH-Drive and RH-Drive, or something like that.

 

Yeah my light pattern look like the one in the pictures where there seem to be a sharper cut off on the right than on the left side. The light pattern seem to flare up more on the right then one the left.

".....because traffic signs and such will be on the right"

I've read that somewhere posted by another member of this forum...yet this has not been confirmed.

My impression:
After installing my projectors, I have to say that they have a good output. The projectors are a night and day difference from the D2R HID setup and light up the road better. However, the color is not as nice as a BMW, Maxima, or a S2000.

 

Yeah, that's what I said earlier. To me they look just like my wife's TL's projectors. On the TL boards, people say that they like the TSX projectors better, because they have better color than the TLs.

So when I was thinking about it.... The BMW, the TSX, the S2000, the Maxima... None of those are bi-xenon. Those are single xenon. I wonder if the way the shutter works in the bi-xenon is part of the reason why they don't produce as great a spectrum effect as people like, straight from the factory.

But either way, they were blue enough for me. When I was pumping my tires full of air, I was stairing at my headlights in the reflection in the glass, and it was a lovely blue color, at the angle I was at

 

No, the Murano Bi-Xenon has nice color, so does the e55 Bi-Xenon. Its the way the projector just is. If you had the *****, you could open up ur headlight and open up ur projector, and do a washer mod, im sure you will get nice color and a sharper cutoff of it.

 

Agreed. It's not bixenon vs. single xenon. Plus the single xenons that were mentioned all tend to be the better ones.

Although there's thought that with the number of complaints to the NHTSA about the flickering and sharpness of projectors from other drivers, that car manufacturers are starting to move away from the super sharp and high color cutoffs.

Here are some pics of my TL projector. Plenty of color, super sharp (though this one isn't as sharp as the other side's). So almost any projector can be modded to have great color and sharpness.

 

The current Maxima is bixenon. Most people call it a E55 bixenon. It has a foreground limiting shield that differentiates it from the regular E55's. BMWs mostly use E46 bixenons or ZKW bixenons.

Most retrofitters consider the TLs to be the best bixenons in terms of output, sharpness in low beam mode, and high beam pattern. Again, check out hidforum.com, and you'll see crazy stuff like LS430s converted to bixenons with clear lenses....

 

Yeah. The guys over on hidforum are crazy people. I can't believe we spend that much money and time on some freaking lights.

 

yeahh..ive had my retro done by Larry aka LittoDevil from Hidplanet. in my old car.... Im gonna plan on doing another retro with the 06 headlights later in the year.... Thinking of putting s2k's in the fog light area!!....Dual Projector

Reason being is because ive had S2k projectors in my previous car and i Know that the 06 projectors (Larry found out that they are the Exact projectors from the Fx35/45) wont be as good as the s2k's

 

Are you sure the E46 are bi-xenon? When I was going to do a projector retro for my other car, people told me it was single xenon. I just assumed it was true, since the E46 has two headlights, one for low one for high. Unless that's only for the non-xenon halogen one.

But if most people think the TL bi-xenons are the best bi-xenons, than I"m happy, because the G's projectors seem to project exactly the same as my wife's TL

 

On ebay right now, just a quick search:

I don't know what years 3 series had bixenon though. I'm not familiar with BMWs.

I think the G's projectors would greatly benefit from a clear lens and some washer modding. It shouldn't be hard to do.

 

yeahh....its been done (on Fx projectors though)

Thats with a Clear lense swap and a little custom work.

 

Yes, the E46's have bi-xenons. I know because my last car was a E46.
