    so i am getting my retros all lined up and i was wondering what the cutoff height should be at X distance?... right now i am about 20 ft away from the wall and my cutoff lines are about 3- 3-1/2ft high.??? ( i am lowered about 1.5-2.0" if that matters) what should be about the proper height? thanks!

    Blah.

    I would suggest riding around after and make sure that's where you want them before sealing the lenses

    X2 on the hid planet link....but if it dosent make sense

    pull up to a wall
    mark the top of the headlight cutoff
    pull straight back 25 feet
    the headlight cutoff should drop 2.1"

    Drive around to make sure you like it, seal up the lights

    Ya i drove around last night with them and i think they are lined up pretty well... the top of the cutoff is about right at the trunk of a car when behind the car.

    Remember you can still aim up/down after you set the projectors IMO just make sure you don't get the beams crossed at distance. Keep them straight as possible.
