This thread should be stickied and placed on the front page. More people need to see it, so that we don't have to see any more of these half-ass headlight pictures.

I mean, those headlights are BAD. Real bad. Almost criminal the scam he's running.

He doesn't have to post to still get customers. Some people go straight to PMing him. Putting this thread on the Front Page will help it to reach more members and very possibly prevent this from happening again.

It's true. He needs to lose his vendor title cause I know for a fact the only reason Greg went to him was because of it.

Low blow.. low blow.. But seriously I think these things were thrown together in a day.
I'll need new headlights so I can steal their lenses and innards. I'll find out tonight when I get home if the projectors are even aligned properly. Might be a total loss.

Should the light pattern displayed look like this? (pic below)

All the light is aimed right and the light covers pretty much that exact pattern, even with the sharp angles. Virtually nothing in the oncoming lane is visible. Also, if you loosen the height adjusting screws to the max how far ahead should you be able to see? Should it be more than 40, maybe 50, yards or so. Just curious.

Maybe this is the wrong thread (apologize if it is), but how do the Depo Gen 4 lights compare to some of these?

In theory.. and this is a horrible picture as I was stealthy doing it at work it should look something like this where there is overlap and a wide pattern. Some people match the right side like I have done below some people the right side sit on top of the left side but that's just done with the up/down adjuster screw.
Ignore my screwed up right side of the right beam



My old FXRs not properly aimed but.. you can see how the right beam is still visible on the left side.
