    When you tune a projector, you first swap the OEM lens for a clear lens. Then you'll fine tune it by spacing the lens forward by a few mm. Sometimes you'll have to space/tune the cutoff shield by either bending it forward/backward or installing a custom shield.

    Basically you optimize the projector's performance by adjusting a few things. For example, here's my oem murano projector I was tuning.

    Stock up top and tuned at the bottom with STI-R lens and paper spacers. Check out that hot spot. Yeah, RAD knows, J slopes ftw!

    Sure is wild, and that wasn't even the final tune! :eek:

    I think he said they tune some in house or have theretrofitsource tune them when the projectors are bought

    ^ We tune in house. . .We spent a lot of time figuring it out and found each individual set differs.

    J-Slope Doe

    We tune in house as all Muranos/TL aren't the same. We use to not get them tuned in house. Now we spend the extra time to get it dialed in just right.

    All emails have been answered as we go into this beautiful weekend. . . Just waiting on TRD to fulfill their backorders.

    ^ Not even close to the Depo Black Taillights. It's too Wet to compare the two.

    "Slippery When Wet Black" AKA - Gloss Black / Piano Black / Sexy Black / Dam, It's too Shiny Black
