    I changed the air freshener to a new one, one time.
    Do these cutoff look wonky to anyone? I’m not entirely sure how these are suppose to look but I figured they overlapped a little more. The line seems to go a bit crooked too?

    I’m also struggling to find the easy “measure this high from 20ft” measurement of where to set these?

    Bxbuilt did them. The housings are cheap as hell but the work seems pretty good. Wish I would have just got oem shit and been done with it all lol. Not really stoked on the spread of the lights but I’ll adjust them and see where I’m at.

    really should have went though the retrofit source

    2" drop at 25 feet. Make sure the ground is pretty level too though.

    What projectors did you use?

    Looks like a projector or bulb issue. You can try to shim the bulb to fix the cutoff. The scatter and notch issue aren't as easy of a fix.

    Also are they shining through a bumper or bull bar. Something in the way?

    BxBuilts b3 Pro projectors. I’ll try to get them leveled and set up this week and go from there and see where I’m at!
