I dont think may mali sa output mo medyo di lang pantay yung upper step ng dalawang cut-off. There is a slight rotational alignment needed but on actual di mo yan mapapansin, nakikita ko lang dahil may konting backgorund ako but for most people di na mapapansin yung rotational issue lalo na maliit lang. Also mas ma distingiush mo ang step at cut-off pag 25ft away from the wall ang park mo to take the pics. Malapit kasi masyado sa wall kaya may glare at pati hot spot di makita. Or baka sa phone cam mo lang.
This pic after the servicing ng isang HL? Easy fix lang yan kahit ikaw pwede mo adjust yan if ganyan lang ka liit ang difference. Baka ma OT tayo dahil iba na topic nato. Better sa kabilang thread mo i post to.

while the aim may be correct, the now-stronger glare outside the aim may be too intense, as to cause some temporary blindness to the oncoming motorist.
check it, sir.
stand several meters in front of your car, with its headlights on, at night.
also, if you get more than your share of oncoming hi-beam flicker at night, even as you're already at lo-beam....

Phone cam lng. Both headlights inalis pero isa ung binuksan tlga mismo. Dunno if may effect ung sa alignment. Try ko picturan ng mas malayo

Kaya it's always a basic practice na before mag tanggal ng HL always mark muna the cut-off sa wall kung saan naka harap ang vehicle para madali pag align during re-assembly. Pero kung eksperyensyado naman ang installer kahit wala na marking. Pag tinanggal both headlights I would still recommend to check the alignment just to make sure kahit yung isa lang ang binuksan. A few millimeter difference sa source would have an exponential effect on certain distance kasi.
Kung wala kang basehan at limited space ka try mo park at 3meters or 10ft from a wall, measure height ng HL center mo to the ground, use that distance sa wall and mark it. Then adjust your lower step by dropping it 1.5inch from your mark on the wall. May pinost din akong alignment method sa kabilang thread baka makatulong yun sayo if you still want to adjust your HL.

Hi guys, I have installed a Novsight 5500k 14400 lumens in my Vios (H4 reflector housing). I have not yet done a road test yet but initial beam pattern comparison between the Osram nightbreaker and this one, the cutoff seems to be the same. I have previously used a fanless ZES chip led but find the output weak and I do not like the 6500k temperature color. Hopefully this one is better.

yes sir, panget kasi bakuran namin na katapat ng garahe kaya hindi ko sinama sa video. lol. Pag na road test ko na lagay ko findings.

i have 2 late model Toyota SUVs one with OEM LED HL’s (rated at 6000K i think) and the other H4 Halogen (upgraded to Philips X- treme Vision Plus 130%), same brand and shade of tint on WS. My personal observation is, going up on either Marcos or Kennon Road on a rainy season proves the Halogen to be far more reliable than LEDs or HIDs. Adding auxiliary Foglights in eithr Halogen, LED/HID bulbs would be probably a better route albeit a more expensive alternative (as there is additional expense on mounting, brackets, etc)

Same observation with Sir LN106. Maganda ang LED sa city and in dark roads pero pag may kasalubong na halos hindi ko na makita kalsada

I have both LED and halogen and I drive very frequently on dark provincial roads. Even during rainy weather, the LED has better road illumination.

I was also surprised that I had good illumination with the LED considering the higher color temp.
