They are aimed a little high, but there is nothing a little adjusting can't fix,

Congrats on the mod.

You should not be getting flashed. One of the selling points to having projectors is the sharp cutoff allowing you to have better visibility for yourself while not overly annoy other drivers. If it is in their face, then the light is definitely too high. The beam from Gamma's car is awesome and he says he gets no issues from other drivers.

Enjoy the new mod as you are the envy of many members here, but please enjoy it responsibly.

Like I said, I will do a little tweeking,

But It's still crazy how it lights the ground, once I lower them it will even be better and Brighter!
Not that I have any complaints, but It's 4 the oncoming drivers.. hehe

Also, I have a set from the 2004 Ferarri 575F1 Maranello, hehehe that is Reserved 4 me

ECE projectors, ballasts and the whole 9.

Can't waite 2 see how Q45's will be with that setup, but that is another story!

Milad,

So you are going to get an ECE setup and a Q45 setup, and then decide which you like better?
