I just installed my HID today using retrofitted D2S/9006 bulbs from www.hidexpert.com and was wondering if there is a way to get rid of this "bleeding" of light that shines on top of the cut off line. Do I need to use casper shields or is it just the way how the projector is?

There is... it's not easy but it will make your cutoff sharper and will eliminate the little lights at the top..

Parts Needed:
- two 4"x4" sheets of aluminum

You have to take your projector apart and create your own shield. That glare comes from holes that are in the factory shield. You don't have to replace the factory shield, simply cover it. It's quite easy once you get the projector out.

I did this a while back and created a post about it, you might want to search for it.


If I find my old post, I'll give you the link.

EDIT.. FOUND IT! LINK

Weird.... Mine never did that then again I now have Audi A8 projectors but hmm... good luck.

If you wanted the perfect beam, you should have also retrofitted the HID type projectors (like the audi one ) Because the stock one is made for halogen bulbs. But then again, it's more work and more money....

i never got that with mine eihter. and i was just using the stock projectors.
are you sure you are using the right type of bulb?

you might also want to check the way your lights are aiming too

If you have an SC then you have them, unless you've retrofitted new projectors in.

True, Luxor's glares look much brighter than mine and his cutoff is a little strange, but I thought that was the way the picture was taken. Perhaps it's how close he is to the garage.

Yes, I am using philips OEM D2S bulbs which have been rebased to fit in my 9006 housing. Did you ever have to adjust your headlight level? I don't think that adjusting the level will do anything, it might just make the 2 spots move up and down with the cut off line. I am most likely just take my headlights apart just like Iron Cobra and install the shields, my headlights need some cleaning anyways..

did you get the cut-off line fixed. i have the same problem, except the passenger side is less noticeable than the driver side.
