Looks great Reggie. Nice cutoff and that cutoff doesn't show much blue/purple fringing to annoy other drivers with. You've done very well the tricky part of getting both headlights aligned horizontal too, no denying that would have taken a lot of effort and time getting right.

Its amazing the difference night driving in dark streets- how incredibly wide and uniformly lit the light output is, the extra vision is very reassuring.
Are you running 35w or 50w (zOMG or brighter?!) bulbs?

As the RX8 projector assy screws straight up, it uses the standard adjustment points...easy as to adjust the lights properly.

just running some 35W Osram 66240. awesome globe despite their $185+post price from TRS
