If you mean that the drivers side is lower on the left than the passenger side, then its actually supposed to be like that. Its actually hard to tell due to my driveway being uneven but I *believe* it is pretty straight across. Either way, it cant change now.

The cutoff I was looking to get was the drivers side (left of step) to be parallel to the ground...right of step would naturally flare up a bit. The passenger side would go very slightly down on the left of the step and flare up to the right of the step.

Either way, I am satisfied with the beam so far.
This is probably the closest flat beam shot I have which shows the cutoff

I think thats actually the slope of my driveway you are seeing then. Ill try to get it aimed on a flat wall to show the cutoff accurately

Congrats! I officially say you have the best retrofit in a gen 1.5 due to the hard work you had to go through. I got my supplies for the Land Cruiser and I'm going to get someone to do my retrofit and be riding with dual projectors. I still gotta decision to make to go tri xenon or bi xenon. I have no DRLs so its tempting me right now.

No pictures of the xenon high beams yet since I have to build a circuit with a relay and diodes for each side to account for the drls. I will be going to radioshack to see what elec components I can get to complete my build.

I was actually thinking about doing quad FXR projectors next!

Those came out great! I had my TSX headlights for a while and the clear lens really look crappy now after a few years. I wish mine looked like yours again. :P

okay, i knew this wasn't going to be easy. I got the lights from lightwerkz and the aim is just off. I can adjust the beam going up and down but I can not adjust the tilt of the horizontal line.

Is there something I can do to fix that? or is that just a retrofitting error?
