also in the how to section guys but here ya go...
ok guys so i drove with my projectors on tonight for the first time and had them adjusted all the way up and they made a clean line of light but it was way to defined on the road and too close...i shouldnt be able to see a line on the road that should disappear in the distance and i should be able to see far in front of me and with these lights it wasnt working....so i decided to remove the brackets and projector pod and see what the cut off it like....turns out they made it too high i ended up taking a 1/8 inch off the top of the cutoff plate and it made a world of difference...here how i did it....
Measure a 1/8 inch from the top of the cut off plate and draw a line...then cut if off carefully be sure to cut it clean otherwise your cutoff will be choppy...after i cut mine with tin snips it had gotten a lil bent on the edge so i put it on a flat surface and lightly tapped it flat again with a hammer....i then sanded the top and sides of the new edge i made (the closer you can get the edge look like a level knife edge the better, the projector is a magnifying device so any minor imperfection in your new edge and it will be magnified and you'll see a bumpy cutoff line so make sure you take your time making it as clean as the original edge...pics below
here is the cut off i ended up with...bright as hell on pitchblack roads and still not in other peoples eyes (the cutoff mod brought out some blue in the halogen bulbs also as you can see in the pics)
and finally the halo action
also did the following..
i adjusted mine so they fit nice and i re did the weather stripping on them fukk the bs weather strip they come with i now have a single piece running around the corners and all the way under neath the lights....no bounce AT ALL, tight fit, no big gaps just small ones on the inside no more than the stockers tho...they are perfect now....def glad i invested in them...
i especially like how my thicker strip tightened up the corner fit.
