my extra set of headlights came in today. they look like they're in better condition than my headlights, except for some damage that happened during shipping. i was refunded partial payment for it, so i guess it evens out.
i'll admit, they weren't packaged super well. i would have packed them a million times better had i done it myself. they also came from california so they had a decently long trip. however, one of the projector lenses is chipped. i have no idea how that ends up happening, but it did.
the glare that is about the 2-3:00 position is not a glare, it's a fair sized chip.
therefore i'm going to have to use one of my lights that are on the car...or bite the bullet and replace the projector with a new one. there's potential for an upgrade here, but i'll have to look into it. off to the retrofit source i go.
