Is there a general how-to for this? I'd love to do this.. I don't want to buy full projector headlights, but love the output they give..

that would be sick, but i imagine itd be damn tricky, although i think some of the ones that swivel are based off of lateral g's and stuff like that, kinda like an accelerometer, so that kinda setup would def. work

the cutoff is a bit wierd because the bulbs i have in there dont fit right, i guess thats what i get for buying cheap bulbs of off ebay. but i ordered some good ones, so it should be better soon
