    tested the lights.. and the wiring was a pain in the ass!!!! the wires were annotated with high beam/low beam etc... but then in the package that TRS sent there was a note that said to not pay attention to those sticker annotations and instead go by what they listed... so i went by what they listed and come to find out about 1 1/2 hour later that it was wrong.....after checking connections, fuses, etc..., i then said screw it.. lets try to follow what the sticker on the harness said... after a few minutes of stripping some wires and testing, IT WORKED!!! everything works...

    currently sealing the last headlight... afterwards, gonna go pick up some quick disconnects and clean up the wiring... :)

    ill post description soon.. gotta run errands real fast..

    EDIT:
    First pic was first aim all sealed up... bad bad bad... backed up the truck and my horizontal was jacked up!... left side low, right side rising. it got late soo i said screw it and saved it for sunday morning.... woke up sunday morning and opened it up, drilled a new hole, tessted the horizontal and it was great!... soo i sealed it up

    Last 2 pics shows the aim at about 25ft... blue tape was where the stock light and the projectors up close to the wall... Aaron said it should be about 1 inch lower when you back up... soo i lowered it and thats the results!!!

    LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!!!!!! advice, info... let me know!! during driving, it seemed like both steps turned into 1 step and it was slightly left of the driver side... is that normal?? the light line is just above the license plate of an average sedan.. should be good to go right?? i didnt see no shiny mirrors and no one has flashed me yet ...heheh

    To properly aim your projectors you should park 25' away from a wall on flat ground. The cut off line should be levle and have a 2.1" to 2.5" drop from the hight of the headlight it self. Having the cut off line between 2.1" to 2.5" drop is DOT specs so you should be fine.
