I suppose it would look alright if it was adjusted, I can still think of better things to spend $250 on though.

Thanks for the pics voice im still going for them despite the dissapointing beam pattern. I bet HID's would make em reall nice, i can't wait till the chromes come out in two weeks.

It may be your camera, but the light pattern there sucks. My PIAAs are ALOT better, and brighter IMO.

Whoa, the beam pattern in the pics really are off. I want to get them because the stock housing is giving off too much glare on the right side with HIDs. But first, I got to remove the H4 adaptor ring and sand off the ceramic coating to convert D2R to D2S.

d2r is retro fit hid bulbs, containing a little deflector plate on the bulb itself to reduce glare, for cars using deflection to light up the road
d2s is the current hid bulb for all cars with hid standard, no shield, it's for projector headlight applications

Yes, D2S is for projectors. There is actually no reason for anyone to get D2R bubls, The ceramic coating doesn't reduce glare for us, it's only for OEM housings designed specifically for D2R, such as in Acuras and Mercedes because they didn't want to use projectors. Don't fall for it like I did.

How do you adjust the TYC's? are there screws around the projector itself?
