Very nice. Do these lights adjust to the road? I remember on my A4, if I went over a bump, the lights would adjust accordingly...or are these solid?

^^ technology like that hasn't been retrofitted on cars yet as far as I know. But companies like Audi,BMW,Saab and Mercedes have it stock.

Thanks for the comments everyone. They came off a 2005 TL

Nice work!! I'd agree. Driver side is too low.

Hi beam shots please. I've never really gotten a look at the pattern bixenons put out for their high beam.

Nice man. Found you on here too.

I feel uncomfortable aiming my projos that high, I'm afraid I blind enough people already at crests of hills, under WOT, etc... but I do wish I got more distance on barren highways etc... I dunno. Wish I could have a little button to switch between urban and rural modes.

I am still learning about photography... but how did you take those night pics?

I am assuming with a tripod and a long shutter? They look pretty sharp and make me wanna pull the trigger on a D80 with my tax return.
