    They are awesome. I love the look, the output, and now I know I'm not blinding people all the time

    It's kind of hard to explain. I cut up a mount for the UG and just kind of made it work by drilling a hole in the switch cover and tinkering with it. Sorry that's not much help

    Picked up a 1985 Honda Odyssey FL350 yesterday. A super rare go kart/dune buggy with full independent suspension and a 700cc Polaris snowmobile engine. I'm pumped to work on it a little bit and have a blast riding it! Couldn't have gotten it without 01GreenTaco so shout out to him for helping me out!

    It's been a while since I posted. I haven't done much besides break in my eibach coils and bilsteins. Retros are still looking great. repainted my roof rack and I've just been enjoying my ride!

    I was wondering where you went, probably enjoying that go-cart to much :cool:

    You got any tips on doing the retro. I'm gonna be doing mine this week sometime. Do I really need a 9-12v battery to test everything out?

    I'm sure Tacoskeet can back me up here but the best advice I can give is to double check everything before putting back together. I mounted mine then tested them in my living room to make sure cutoff is level, then I put them in the truck with no lenses to make sure cutoff was still level (in case they were sitting differently on the table than when mounted), tightened down the nut to make sure they wouldn't move. Another thing was people mentioned that the projector can move up and down when you hit bumps and I noticed that even though they were tight they would still wiggle so I cut little squares out of the jb weld paper and shimmed the 3 prong washer taking the play out and it worked like a charm!

    x2 ^^ Yeah the retros were easy. just be careful and take your time. i do recommend doing what GearHead did to make sure the output is correct.

    Best looking mod IMO
