That's exactly what I wanted to see! Yours have an even spread of light. I now definateley think that mine are aimed WAY low and that's why I have a big cluster of light right in front of my car.

Honestly man you should give it a go yourself. I wasn't feeling to confident about installing them at first, but after I dug in and started I was like

; this is too easy. It's all plug n' play too.

AzSonicSnake · July 30th, 2009, 12:05 PM

gotcha! i was just hopin those helped. all i did was aim them on the street. no walls or anything used. just cranked em up to where i thought i would be happy, and then made small adjustments from there.

Lefty · July 30th, 2009, 12:27 PM

We only have an "up & down" adjustment screw correct? I'm thinking I need to raise mine up quite a bit.

AzSonicSnake · July 30th, 2009, 12:53 PM

there is another screw that is down between the fender and the housing, and you normally need a long screw driver to get to it, but i did not adjust it honestly. i just altered the height and i was happy.

Really? I didn't see any other adjusters other than the top one that you can get to from the top of the light housing...???

yeah, to get it you have to put a longer screw driver, or allen wrench down between the fender and the headlight housing. its like on the bottom of the housing, but you can definetly acess it from the top.

Lefty · July 30th, 2009, 09:36 PM

Hmm; I'll have to look for it...

Lefty · July 30th, 2009, 10:02 PM

Ah okay!

Lefty · July 30th, 2009, 10:37 PM

AzSonicSnake · July 31st, 2009, 12:04 AM

glad i had an extra headlight in the garage...

white03v6 · July 31st, 2009, 12:10 AM

wow, good hiding spot for that adjuster

Lefty · July 31st, 2009, 12:12 AM

I'm pretty sure my shit doesn't have that

AzSonicSnake · July 31st, 2009, 12:49 AM

hmmm...dunno... might look...

Lefty · July 31st, 2009, 12:52 AM

It's dark out now but I will tomorrow...do you think maybe physically having the bulbs turned the wrong way in the housing could affect it?
