Default looking down the road.....

both halogen hi beams on, no fog:


Low beam on, driverside burned out, no fog:


Low beam on driverside burned out AND fog hid Projectors on:


While the hid projectors dont light up the tree (at the edge of the high beam on the right side of the road), they certainly fill in the light in front of the car.

I think I can aim the HID projectors just a little higher. Also when I adjust the driverside hid bulb, I should have optimal lighting

Also, those projectors are designed for low beam and hi beam(no cut off). I havent wired in the hi beam option yet.

here is how I mounted the projectors. I used strp metal from home depot (over in the lumber section.
1. rEMOVE THE HEADLAMP
2. There is a support piece on the brace that the headlamp sits on.
3. remove that bracket.
4. use the mounting holes

here is the strap metal mounted to the projector:

looking down from the front of the bumper using the two bolt holes.



looking from the side





using the metal strapping allow me to bend it to aim the projector

The bottom end of the strp pushed against the inside of the front bumper for support
