I will have a write up eventually. But thanks to Dixit it was easy! I will also take pics of the beam pattern and the ground soon after I aim the lights better.

I agree, they look better on the cleaner bumpers we have. I need to wash the car before taking day time pics, its 3 weeks dirty and still going with all this rain we have had in texas lately.

Great looking HID's. You are making me want to go buy some, except I don't want to pay $800 - $1000 bucks for them.

aiming...

I messed with my lights countless times.. then finally, I saw a LS430 at night and followed it a few blocks. I took visual cues off the road signs and trees/houses/other cars. His lights were alittle higher than mine, yet lower than Kev had suggested. I adjusted and drove the same route. I put my lights were his were and I'm really happy now. I do believe stock 2k2 is really low for some reason. The 'stock' height (and the 2k2's I've seen at night) wont even illuminate reflective signs right in front of you (I mean on the side of the road or above on the interstate at a distance) - thats no good.

I'm still peeved that my other bulbs dont align. My blinkers are not aligned and my running lights are also off alittle, but in opposite directions (so its not the assemblies, but the lamps themselves). Maybe my bulbs are oriented weird 'cause that makes no sense.
