    Yeah I don't have enough left to even finish one light. Can it be done without splitting them again? I think not because I have to do more grinding i guess

    Can you produce pics of any kind of this said alignment?

    Would like to know what I'm needing to do. Obviously the back of the headlight is getting ground completely flat now too right?

    Yes then line the projector level with the vertical lines on reflector bowl and then mount it back on housing and install on truck without lense. Then do your minor tweaking to get straight cutoffs

    Shit man I would have said something a few pages ago (when I said to cut all the clips off and sand the back smooth) if I thought you were still using the factory H4 bulb socket for alignment. It's known to not be properly aligned for a retrofit. Don't get too discouraged though man, after I had mine on the truck for like 2 months I had to pull them apart and reseal them again. Pain in the ass for sure.

    You know how it goes lmao. It takes a while
    To come to terms with getting shit on like that but I'm good to go again. That being said, I believe I've hit just about every pothole on this road so anyone that reads this has no excuse. Lastnight I sealed the lights back up without putting the two screws thst hold in the main shroud:playball::wave::rofl:

    K guys just got off with TRS. If you're wanting to do an LED light in the running lights, you're gonna have to get these super pricey triton bulbs that have their own drivers or wire up a bunch of resistors. Just come more info, I will not be doing that at all. If you do, drop the info in here for others.
