Duals would be hard in the stock housings... they were kinda pain in the *** to work with. They taper slightly, it's difficult to keep track of which direction is forward. R34s look easier to do.

Jayson - PM kzoosho or maxgtr2000 or one of those guys. They can probably do a much better job than me. I'm just making this up as I go along.

I wanted to aim them tonight, but it's super cold out. It's annoying, because I want to aim them at night, but I can't see well enough to install them at night. Tomorrow I'll try to install them in the late afternoon. Then I gotta figure out a level spot to aim them. I'm not sure what to do... I don't want to drive without lenses, but I don't want to seal them until they're aimed. I don't want to tape the lenses on and have them fall off. I'll probably go to an elementary school near me (biggest parking lot I can get to without crossing a major road) and mess with them.

My worry is rotation. The 4th gen housing can do left/right and up/down. My method for rotation is washers under the bracket. Hopefully I can get it right without too much trouble. It looks pretty close as it is, so hopefully at most I'll need a thin washer.
