    I hope so too. Haha

    I'm almost sure it is. If not, it should be better than it was before

    Is it the rotation of the projector that's off or just the bulb not sitting correctly?

    I'm about to throw this God forsaken headlight into the pond. I checked and double checked this light before I put it all back together and it's crooked still. WTF. I am so done with this.

    Nah don't quit. I got another trick. Do it again but instead of taking your headlights out, reach the back of your headlights and use steel stick. Put the steel stick where the lock nut presses against the reflector bowl. Stay there with the projectors on for about 5-10mins so the steel stick can dry. And go back later with JB weld if you want.

    I think you got everything aligned but once you take your headlights out, it shifted a bit

    Do you guys recommend using steelstick or JB weld to secure the nut to the back of the bowl? Or as stated above, a combo of both? I used steel stick just now for the halos inside of the shrouds and that stuff hardens fast.

    I think I might have gotten it done. I left it overnight to cure. I'll test it later today after I bleach my pool... Fun.
    I never lost mine :notsure:

    When I had mini d2s, I used steel stick at the spot so it wouldn't move at all taking out my headlights. I'm sure it was enough but I went ahead and put a dab of jb kwik weld to absolutely make sure.

    For halos, I used jb kwik weld. Like 3-4 tiny spots

    Do you have the old cob one? Or the newer switchbacks? There is a three year warranty

    I've used 120. How does the 110 look and fit?
