Adjusting Bunker 9" LED headlights with Halo?

[ScottLars]

Has anyone installed these lights? I have them installed and am trying to get the low beams lined up. They came with springs that go between the light mounting tabs and the vehicle. Just not sure how much adjustment they really have. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried a little bit last evening. It wasn't quite dark yet and I was aiming them at a light colored garage door. I initially started with the screws all the way tight. Maybe I'll start with them just barely compressing the springs and go from there.

the bunkers look the same as kiwi master, but with the screws all the way tight, mine were aimed too low. With the screws loose there was not enough tension on the light.

I think I will get some longer springs and try it "loose" and work my way in.

Where are you going to source your springs? I had thought of this too, but they would need to be fairly stiff as well to keep tension against the lights.

Our local NAPA also has a good assortment of springs

So this is what they look like at approx 25'. The height is pretty close to what it should be. Just not sure about the cutoff slanting up to the right.

i believe that is pretty common. I just noticed that you must have a different version than I have.
I have the "cross / plus" halo style. The cut off on mine are much different.

So you don't think I need to worry about the slanted cutoff? Everything seems to be nice and bright and I haven't had anybody flash me yet.

Cutoff is supposed to do that, as it illuminates signage on the right side of the road but not on coming drivers on the right. That being said id adjust the right light down like 2-3 inches to match the let.

Are these with bulbs, or built in led? Look like halogen. Left side looks normal, but rightside has a faint hot spot. If halogen, may want to adjust bulb, or replace housing.

Right side does need to come down a tad to match the left.

Make sure drive way is flat and level. Adjusting on a slanted driveway will not yield best results. Otherwise, park behind a building, at least 20' back. Measure from ground to center of projector, not assembly itself, subtract 2"-3", and mark on the wall. Ur cutoff (center/top of blue streak) should line up with that mark. Test drive and fine tune as necessary.

These are full built in LED headlights. Sealed units.
The background is not the best with the light colored door and rock wall. The driveway is basically level.
I have read somewhere the the left side (driver) should be 2-3" lower than the right side (passenger).
