    Lots of folks have those standard steel ones sitting in storage when they upgrade, I'm sure you can find something in that arena.

    Pretty nice line! Maybe aim them left and right a bit? That looks like mine and I don't have enough of a centerline

    Yeah I haven't aimed them when I took that pic. That was the first time I turned them on after putting them in the truck/before sealing them up. I just aimed them and I have one clamped up with the lens on. I'm not sure how to aim them left/right though, my housings only have one adjustment screw for up/down. I'm watching my sick niece at the same time so it's been a slow process.

    Oh and as far as painting the housings black....I somehow cross threaded one of the projectors after I was test fitting them in the housings before painting. The nut threaded on perfect with no resistance, but when I went to take it off to start painting, it acted like it was cross-threaded so I ended up leaving it in and not painting anything. I like the way it looks anyway, and if I regret it later I can always open em up and paint them if I want to.

    Oh and are you supposed to aim them so there is only one step up or two? When I aimed them I aimed the left up so there was only one step up. (Drive side was low)

    That's why I thought it should be one step as well. Interesting. I think if I aimed my driver side any lower to get the 2 steps, I wouldn't see anything lol. It seems I have them aimed really high but I drove to the Sullivan and back last night and didnt get flashed once so I think I'll be ok.
