^thanks mike
btw. out of curiousity have you ever dealt with FX-R's before? I only ask because I'm rather unimpressed with them compared to MH1's given the crazy amount of extra work they need to install (not to mention the extra upfront cost, and bulb seating issues I had). I mean the output is still marginally better, but not really worth it IMO.

oh its nice dont get me wrong.. but better than the MH1 for the work involved.. mehh I'm not so sure about that.. the MH1 seriously takes like 10% of the work in a vast majority of cases and it needs no mounting hardware past what is already supplied. I'm interested in seeing how the MH1 6.0's coming out this year will look

I just get so pissed when aligning mine, i screwn them in with the lenses off and the projector snug but not tight, turn them on and aim the. Tighten and seal, then the way i have them screw down isnt the same the next time around because of the lense and all the wiring i have, they are just a headache to get right for someone who doesnt do it alot.
How do you guys align yours?
