Dunno if I ever shared mine, but here they be. Flat black housing and bowl. Mini H1 morimotos. Metalcast red orbit shrouds, 5000k bulbs and hidwerks switchbacks (pass one no longer switches back?)

Thanks boss. I really wanted a demon eye, but Mike wouldn't do it so I just went with the halos.

I can see why a past vendor wouldn't do something that's illegal. I could see people complaining about it after the fact and it causing problems.

they are just the single adjustment screw you see when you look down at them. its between the 2 10mm bolts that hold the headlight on. it has a hex head which you can see in this image I found really quick

Got it! Will do it tomorrow. Also got some zip ties so I can find some more permanent mount points for my ballasts and zip ties the harness out of sight. Really appreciate the help guys.

Industrial strength Velcro works really nice for attaching the ballasts to the car. I've had mine attached with Velcro for about 5 years now.

As long as your shrouds arent hitting (or binding) on the housing anywhere vertically they will be fine. Its pretty much just reliant upon shroud choice and how they are fit in

Finished these up today for someone else. I wanted to finish them much earlier but my work decided to be busy and I worked 83h this week, and 60h the week before.

3m tape also works for the ballasts.

The regular style ones from ebay that are round 100 a set aren't to bad, just have to be careful with the heat when opening them up
