tempting, I’ll hold off on modding my car for now, but those will be on the list, I got lots a money saved as of now but I’d like to get all the things I want done, done at the same time. ---

> [@McBitchin](#): > > im sure it will pass if they dont notice it but technically they are an illegal mod are they not? ive heard both. i never had trouble with the mitsu. i mean, i had dual projectors with a proper cut off line and i aimed them to the same line as OEM, so i didnt blind anyone. ---

true, how much of a pita was it to get them aligned nicely, thats the only thing I worry about. I dont want them to look like shit or not hit the road correctly. ---

I dont want them to look like shit or not hit the road correctly. i rolled my car away from the garage in my driveway, put the lights on, put a piece of blue tape on the garage door, then after the new ones were in, set the cut off to that line. my lights had knobs to turn to adjust em ---
