hey johnny. i just got back home and adjusted my lights and everything. i got it to move up and down but i can't get it to move sideways. i know how to do it becaus i have done it before but not working right for me. also one last thing. if you see my tool can you send it to me?? lol thanks i really need that. the piece that goes to my hatchet thingy a ma gig. overall its ok. maybe because i already had HID's before. but i mean with this projector its exactly like my stock projector expect this one had a little more glare. also the cut off lines is a little clearer from FAR away when i head towards a buildining.

we needed to paint your headlamp. a lot of that glare won't affect people. its so steep that its just all going to vanish into the air.

the horizontal adjustment should work. i adjusted them slightly before i mounted them. the thing is when you move them now. its going to move VERY slightly. just a 1 degree change will result in huge diferences on the road.

i just got a chance to go drivin in the mountains tonight and my HID's are freakin great. i also notice i could now see my cut off line on the car in front of me like 7 car lengths away. when before with my stock projector i could only see my cut off line maybe 2-3 car lengths away.

My HID's that are in my fog are also great. instead of lightin up the road in front of me it lights up the road next to me. LOL

Hehe, once when I was in LA, I had a 2002 ES300 as a loaner car while mine was getting serviced at Keyes. The '02 ES comes with OEM HID as we all know and I was cruising the entire hillside making up Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, and Palos Verdes Estates all the way back to the lighthouse on the south end. Damn those OEM HID light up EVERYTHING! They are especially impressive in pitchblack surroundings. On the coastal drive to the lighthouse, and on the climb up Palos Verdes Drive North is where it shined best!

if you hit that dip too hard you will scrape. its really bad if you are going south towards san pedro. all of a sudden the road disappears
