Xavier what's the passenger side look like when driving down the road?

If it's not too bad you might actually like it since it can illuminate street signs and whatnot because you don't have squirrel finders. I know it bugs alot of people who like symmetry, but personally it's something I was intentionally planning with my projectors if my squirrel finder mod doesn't work out.

I hear ya but at distance (>30ft), the slope becomes pretty extreme. I am going to try to make it a bit more level but I want the left side parallel to the road which will make the right side flare upwards a bit. Its hard to tell in the shot but the cutoff isnt parallel on both sides of the step. The right side is supposed to flare a bit to illuminate the road signs and whatnot. Right now its just too much.

Also, most people overlap the cutoffs so you only see one step. I am actually going to have the passenger side higher than the drivers side to give more illumination to the side of the road for people that like to walk the streets at night. Don't want to hit someone.

This is kinda what Im going for:

Thats exactly how i had my solara aimed just for that reason. People actually be out running at 5 am and it is hard to see people that dont wear reflective cloting. Kudos!!!

I appreciate it guys...I just put it on a wall at ~30 ft to see the levelness...added pics on 1st. Looks like I want to adjust the rotation on both side just a tad. The passenger side needs to rotate clockwise just a bit and the drivers side needs a bit of counter clockwise rotation...Hopefully I can finish everything by tomorrow night.
