Thanks. It'll be even better when I finish the project. LOL

Damn, he sure made them sit all angled like in the back of the headlight capsule. I just made mine sit flush with the back so the lock nut could go all the way down. Then just used the headlight backet itself as my adjust for getting the beams lined up.

This is kind of why I put the project on hold. I had to angle them to get the alignment in check, but I can't see where others had to do the same thing. I would have never thought you could get that much alignment out of the bracket without the housing looking all crooked.

I do like your link Bronco. In your July 16th pics, you do comment about trimming the projector housing. What did you have to do to it?

Thanks. I just re-read that and am starting to remember it. LOL

I'll dig out this project when I get home and re-evaluate the trimming and let you guys know what I really did.

Ok, the cut that I forgot I made was to the top left corner (looking from the front) of the projector. In the picture, looking at it from the rear, it is on the top right. Looks to be about 2mm, which gave me the clearance to clock the projector to get proper alignment.

Yes sir, had to make the same shave. Hey I noticed those lights you have are the TYC brand. The brand I got was eagle eyes and I am noticing that the interiors are different from the drivers side and the passengers side. I looked at my factory ones and they are dang near identical. It must be the molds for eagle eyes because i got two pairs (for mistakes) and noticed both pair are the same way, not identical on the inside of housing from the driver side compared to the passenger side. My question to you Bronco, is the insides of that brand seem identical on the insides or are they different as well.

Also Bronco the last pic on your link says vertical hotspot tuning, what is that? what does the circle represent in the pics? I assume the line is the cutoff from the shutter.

They appear to be the same as the OE one's.

It is proper alignment of the projector. The hot spot is the center/brightest part of the light. The circle represents the hot spot of my halogen bulb:





And here the hot spot of the projector is slightly to the left and to high compaired to the halogen hot spot:

Oh ok that makes sense. Could you do me a favor and give me the exact part numbers you ordered on those assemblies so I can make sure to get the same? Did you order the reg stock or CAPA certified?
