Thanks guys, Without L-brackets they shoot light so low I cant see the bright line from over the hood! I will likely be making some with scrap sheet metal and a friend's shop sometime in the next few weeks. Once I've got money, it's HIDs and maybe a clear lens swap. :naughty:

I remember I used just some scrap metal and bent it into an L shape, used some nuts/bolts and screwed it in.

What's wrong with the yellow lens? :)

Also, can anyone post some output/'cutoff' pics with theirs? I'm convinced that the alignment is off but I'm not sure...

^^^^ x2 I have no idea how high I'm supposed to make them shine so I can only see a little bit of light over the hood.

^ Do eeettt! And also put in 8k HID's with clear lenses while angled high. :jae:/sarcasm, jk.

Just yeah, adjust the angle a bit, but try not to make them too high or the light will disperse and will also blind other drivers.
