what do you mean cutoff pics?
least we know u bought them for quality!

go search around he means pics showing quality of light and cutoff lines of the headlights. people usually sit a certain distance from a wall to show this and take pics of the light hitting it. maybe some 20yard 30yard 40yard 60 yard pics?

There's 3(4)? screws behind the actual light itself that you adjust to adjust the positioning of the light..
can you do that with it connected to the bumper or do i have to take the whole bumper off. And can you also do that with it while the HID bulb is inside ?

you can adjust it with the bumper on.. the housing has a lip that goes behind the bumper so thats really the only reason to take the bumper off.. as for the hid bulb.. I dont know.. i havent adjusted my lights yet..

It uses H1 bulbs for high beam and low beam, and uses the stock parking lights and turnsignal bulb. I recommend changing the parking light bulb that goes in the eyebrow to something whiter/blueish , instead of the stock yellowish... It looks real nice and matches the rest of the lights. But when u do do that the light will reflect off the amber turn signal bulb located towards the rear of the eyebrow and you'll have a little orange spot in the rear eyebrow part. so you might want to order some pilot chrome/orange turnsignla bulbs. Mine should be coming in anytime now. I'll take pics when i can.

I have the stock light and dont notice any pink.. the only light I've replaced is the blinker with a ultrawhite LED and that looks clean.. the eyelid light I dont know what the # is or I'd replace it also.. I dont like the orangish look from the light.. if it was ultrawhite LED or something it would look much better..

I'm guessing you bought your front grille because it's "quality" too right? Or your tint? What's the % tint you got? Or what's the UV index at? Don't know? looks like you photochopped your front grille btw..

^^ I agree with you 100%. Thats why i want to adjust these fkers. The light quality at the sides are great. But the reason why it doesnt illuminate the grounjd very well is because of the damn cutoff and its angle. And like all those blinde black spots you got on your pic are somewhat of the ones i have. The HighBeams work great though. lol

The blue dots arent from the HID's in fact in the pic it doesnt seem like you have HID's. Anyways.. the blue dots are from the l.e.d's that light up.

I think if you disassembled the projector (by baking it), and then rotating the projector, you could get a lfat cutoff rather than the angled one.

Does ANYBODY know of some way to convert a spot for a h1 bulb to accept a 9005/9006 bulb? or is it just undoable.

congrats, now your cant see and youre gonna blind people w/ the crappiest cutoff known to man.. i like the design, but when you use cheap products, you get cheap results..

sorry man, i think you wasted your money.. im a light man.. and 6 halo's are way to busy IMO.. looks like your trying to be an audi symbol..

good luck w/ em though!
