How to improve quality of projector lights?

[engradnanshoaib]

Hi everyone. I have passo hana and its projector lights are not satisfactory to me. The low beams are very poor. High beams are fair (not very good) but are projecting low on road (even when adjusted to highest point). So far I have changed all four light bulbs with good quality ones as well as compounded the headlight glasses but has no impact. Tried to mechanically adjusted through a denter service but of no use. I have heard that neither the extra lights be installed on these beams nor the buffing of glasses can be done (since it will cause breaking of seals and will never be same again).
Please suggest a viable solution to this problem. I have searched on PW forums but found nothing on it. Thank you.

Dear Brother, please give some consideration to drivers coming from opposite side, they wont see a thing in your projector lights and this might cause an accident, thanx !

Dear Adnan,

Is the visibility really an issue or you would like the lights to be brighter for personal satisfaction?

If the visibility is an issue, you can share pictures of what you see during night time with low beam and high beam. This will help us to understand the issue better and we might to be able to help you.

If the issue is only personal choice of having brighter light, that's something we need to understand why do you feel you need to have brighter/stronger headlights.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Light intensity and projection is actually an issue rather than a matter of personal satisfaction. At night, with high beams, there is no visibility beyond ~10ft and I can barely judge in time if anyone appears ahead. I will share with you beams pics tonight.

[engradnanshoaib]

Yes I have that consideration always in mind. I rarely cross anyone without lowering beams. But the issue seems genuine to me. I have asked other passo owners nearby. They seem to have this issue also but with less intensity.

Please share what type of bulb you have in your headlights? Is it halogen or oem hid?
Also share photo of your headlight from outside, I want to see if there is any dirt in it or not. Keep it on off while taking a photo. Park your 20m from wall and turn on headlights. Take photos of headlight beam on wall. Send them here.
I will try my best to help you out in this regard. @keiworks12 is another guy who can help you out in terms of headlights on Pakwheels.

Fyi: please brother, headlights with projectors do not even blind a guy on a bicycle.

Here is photo of my corolla reterofitted with hid projectors. Anything above this beam will not feel any glare.

here are the type of bulbs:

outside pics of light will share in a while and lights pic will be shared tonight

Where did you get these bulbs? At what price?
These looks fake to me.
You would surely need new bulbs. Let me know how much you can spend on headlights?

I bought it from MY auto store, Sanober hights, guls han e maymer, Karachi. All four bulbs cost me 4000. I bought it online. As much as spending is concerned, whatever cost makes my lights satisfactory, I can spend.

Your high beams are not projectors. Only the low beams are housed in projectors. A night shot from the driver's point of view should clarify mattersmore.

[haseeb.basharat]

I'm sending you a pm.

[haseeb.basharat]

There are no high beam projectors in world. Car which have high beam in projectors are either bixenon or bi led. High low within same projector controlled by a motorised shutter.

[engradnanshoaib]

If so, then why low beams are sooo poor (will share pics tonight) being projectors. What are the best leds for low and high beams? What are the price ranges for both?? leds have built-in cooling system or required separate system? Will it fit in same housing or need alterations??

[mehran]

Yes you are correct. High beams are not housed in projector lens set up.

[haseeb.basharat]

Best leds till now are philips ultinon, morimoto 2 stroke, but they will cost you 25-30 thousand for a pair only. I have tested philips ultinon morimoto 2 stroke and photum. Photum and philips ultinon got same brightness while morimoto is half as compared to both.
Leds have cooling system: heat sync with fan or else.
No alteration is needed as they are plug and play.
Leds have much less wattage as compared to oem original bulbs.

Distance was ~22m

[haseeb.basharat]

Adjustment looks fine to me. Low beam bulbs have issue. If you don't have budget issue than get photum otherwise I can suggest you some good bulbs.

[mehran]

Yes, high beams look fine. Low beams might need an upgrade.
