Anyone else notice the high beam aim? My high beam hot spot is even with my low beam cut off line? Normal?

At what distance? The closer you are, the lower the cutoff will be.
Aiming is done with the low beam lamp. Book recommends 25' away, level surface, full tank of fuel, and 160lbs. in the driver's seat. Then adjust beam height on the wall to match bulb height on the car.
Anyway, high and low beam are not individually adjustable within the same assembly...

I was under the impression that at 25 feet you wanted the cut off 2 inches below the hight of the center of the low beam... I could be wrong. Any way at about 25 feet the high beam hot spot is even with the low beam cut off line. At distance or still shines higher than the low beam just not as well as I thought being that I swapped the factory projectors for Cadillac hid projectors.. As far as I'm aware I made sure the new projectors were mounted at the same level in the buckets as the original |

What Cadillac did you pull the projectors from? I have a spare set of Headlight enclosures I would like to retrofit, but haven't gotten around to yet.
Sorry I don't have anything to add.

Not that well informed on this topic. I have a 2nd gen with projector low beams. What's the difference in projectors? Will the beam pattern be better with said hid projectors? Are they plug and play? Or do the require modifications?
