You've done some amazing work there! I have to admit, I would not have the patience to do it myself and risk damaging a set of $800+ headlights.

PLEASE POST THE DIY. Its good for the community. Those services will continue to exist as an option for those not wanting to do it themselves, but for us crazy enough to attempt it, this is what sites like my350z.com and my first site 2gnt.com are for. Its for the community.

How so? The driveway is inclined so if they appear way to high, that is why. If there is something else wrong, please let me know how to correct it. They may be slightly off from reinstalling them. There is a little play with the tabs that hold them in place.

As far as a parts list, I will post one when I get home. I am at work right now and don't want to spend too much time surfing the web for links

I will consider a DIY, but even if I did one, without taking the lights apart and taking pictures of placement and steps along the way, I think it would be difficult to follow, and perhaps a disappointment.

I appreciate all the compliments guys, this isn't hard to do, but it is pretty labor intensive, and time consuming with a lot of trial and error.

I would love to see them side by side with some headlights from other vendors to compare.

Once again, all comment and criticism welcome.
