So after about 3 hours of patience, I finally got em in and working. I know I could've done it faster, I just wanted to make sure I did things right, double checking things, etc. etc. Also had to run to Sears to buy a 7/16 drill bit since that was the closest I could get to 11mm (instructions called for 11mm drill bit).

So enough yappin, here are all the pics I've taken tonight. I'll take more tomorrow without any lights on so you can see how sexy they are. I really regret not taking pictures during the process. I mutilated my bumper and wanted memories on picture but oh well.

**New daytime pics update**

Took em this morning after I woke up. Nothing fancy, but I appreciate them so much more now that I see how sexy they are.





-----------------------------------------

Here are pics in order of when they were taken starting from the first pic I took:













Function wise, they help a good amount. DEFINITELY light up the ground more around the front of the car where the headlights can't get and also the sides of the road. And surprisingly, they even get up top above the car, especially on roads where there's trees swooping down from up top.

But how do I angle these things? When I'm looking from the side of the car on a flat level surface, the lights are facing downwards just a tad. I've passed plenty of cars and none have flashed at me so I guess they're good.

I love these things.

Yeah they definitely light up closer to the car and the sides so it's a lot easier to see obstacles in bad weather like tonight.

The only thing I really hate is they turn off when you flick highbeams on. HATE that. And I don't wanna play with wiring because I hear you can blow fuses and melt wiring if you try to get em to stay on whenever you want. Plus I'm happy with the fact that they're OEM. They're staying this way.

lol? I know how to adjust them. I already adjusted them so they point slightly towards the ground. I just don't know how far to point them up or down. Haven't had any cars complain yet with oncoming traffic so I think I'll leave it the way it is.

Looks great..
Now try not to trailgate anyone, or you'll get a rock to one of your lenses..
I suggest lamin-x or something of the sort because I dont think you can just buy a lense..

To adjust any type of front mounted projection light do the following:

park the car on a flat level surface
space 10ft between the front of the car, and a wall
Adjust so lights point dead even with mounting height, or slightly lower

Thats how ive always done it, with nothing but great results.

It looks so much wierder now when I'm walking towards my car to get in it in like a parking lot. I'm not used to it yet. Don't get me wrong it's so sexy but it just looks so different now.

Thanks guys :thumbs up.

Thanks :D. I'll have to adjust the angling a bit sometime when I'm not feeling tired and lazy. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go to bed now @ 8:48PM.
