Retrofit Source Lighting Upgrade

[my1stturbo]

By putting the plate between the lens portion of the projector and the reflector bowl/cutoff shield portion you've modified the optics and will have a different beam pattern / light distribution. I made this exact mistake on my v6 set, but only realized after the fact.

IIRC the brackets slide OVER the lens and the assembly should be adapter plate > lens > projector bowl


You might have to play with the alignment settings on the headlight itself- did you properly aim them after install?

Yea the correct order is supposed to be plate > lens > projector bowl. But whenever I put it together like that and then turn to look at the unit from the front I have the the top of the lens touching the plastic and then about a .25" gap on the bottom. I'll play around with it again this weekend. I never actually installed the lights in the car because the fitment always looked so off. I played with the loosening the two bottom screws to get better fitment but didn't have much luck. You left the rubber bushings in place I imagine?

Yeah ya need the rubber bushings to aim the lights correctly. Actually mine were a little crushed- I should have replaced them with some vacuum line or something. Maybe when I do something dumb like Joeymod or quad projectors I'll fix em up
