At first I thought the left side was dropping down slightly. But now that I looked a little closer it seems to be fine! Must be my bad vision haha.

Would you mind doing the proper height measurement on the wall if you're happy with how the output is at night?

I did the ultimate rookie mistake and completely forgot to measure so i could adjust upward more and I feel like mine might be pointing a bit low. Anyone with proper measurements on the wall for the cutoff would be greatly appreciated.

And if you do please let me know how far from the wall you are and on level ground. Looks awesome man!

Very nice, did you do the retrofit yourself of did you have someone do it? Can you share what components you used if you did do it?

Shrouds are all shaved and cut down. Also been properly fitted.

Need to aim them one last time before I seal them. Which means pulling the bumper again :(

Arrgh

However once that is done...... will be sealed and they are finished.

Thank you :)

Yes. Its the number one reason I have not finished them in all honesty. The hassle of doing it. I am also eccentric and OCD hahahaahaha

A bad cutoff would annoy me lol

I've opened this thread so many times and JUST noticed the typo. Surprised Jacob hasn't fixed it yet!

Lock nut secured. I used hot glue as a removable alternative to JB Weld.

This is the high strength version.

High beam splitters wired in.
