the beam pattern is still kind of sketchy.
I got mine last year and after some adjusting they turned out better than his first pics were, but it's still not as good as stock.

Love the way they look
Content with the way they work

Has these lights ever been redesigned so that their beam pattern got better? Or is it still the same beam pattern as it was years ago.
Nope.

No it's not hard. Yes, it's been done a million times already. Search is your friend.

There are long metal screws coming out of the back of the lights. They are the longest things coming out of the back of the lights and there are two on each light. Those are what you use to aim the lights. You use a philips screwdriver to aim them.

When you hit the highs, the lows turn off. A simple diode can solve that though.

Bridge a diode over the high and low terminals on each original harness and you're done.

1N4007 diode (1 amp, 1000 volts). The side that has the silver stripe goes on the low beam terminal. The other side goes on the high beam terminal.

Why would that happen? I've done tests and it's fine. It's not like I'm running around with my highs on. I'm using the diode so I can have my J30 halogen projector high beam along with my FX35 projector high beam and it works just fine.
