    You won't that


    And in hope you aimed the headlights from 25ft away. They look to be aimed quite high.

    Damn, ik man, idk why I put it so high. When I go to aim the minis im going to check the height. If its under 3 feet its strait, Just supposed to be under the side mirrors.
    I hope it is because if not im gonna probably have to go and dremel the piss out of them and remount them. As much as I dont want to, but id rather do it now than later.

    Yeah the 2.5, lens size has nothing to do with body size though. The body of the 2.5 and 3.0 are the same size, just lenses are bigger. But itd maybe look weird with how much smaller the minis are. But I do like the 3 inch lens a lot. They look sick.

    Well hopefully my patience with this whole project will start paying off. I went and aimed the fxr's again tonight. Took my sweet old time and got them very nice. Just got finished filling the backs in with jb weld.
    I managed to find a better spot to aim them with flat ground, exactly 25 feet away and measure the distance between the projectors to get them on the cut offs. I also set up a piece of wood I can drive up to and aim the minis, as well left the tape on the wall lol.
    For starters, here is what I cut behind to make the projectors while hooked up with the bulbs and ballasts. I cut the bottom more and into a square for this reason. After I aimed the first time and set the projectors, I couldn't pull the headlights out because with the bulb connected and the d2 ballasts, it popped the mounted projector right out and messed it all up n wasted jb weld. So now I have room to play with, and the d2 set ups are a lot different than the amp set ups. Also, you want to keep the bottom circle for the headlight to hold from bouncing, unless we could cut that whole section out. But that is what drunkie always regretted and recommends to keep that!

    Side view from the fender facing in..this is what's a pain to cut, I'm sure it'd be easier if you take the black front piece off to get to it but I didn't. I unscrewed 2 screws so I could move the black piece a little, stuck my dremel with cutting wheels n went to town. This is double walled steel crap too and expect to go thru some wheels. Also, small pliers to roll n bend and straight screwdriver even. Takes some time but you want to be able to hook the projector, bulb, n ballast up and wiggle n play to make sure you have enough clearing to adjust the projector whichever way.

    From up top facing down.

    Mmhmm, about time Kory.




    Tapes still up and this big ol piece of wood I found for coming back n just driving n lining up the cut offs

    For the highbeams? You can take the plugs off, just get a small straight screwdriver n pop the clip n pull at the same time..theyll come right off
