Well worth the trouble. got a router bit from Home Depot, 10 mins of trimming, then swapped out the bulbs. huge difference!
Seems like they need to be angled down slightly.. maybe i'll just get some lowering springs

 

hey can you give me directions to do that but be really specific cuz i dont know anything but this

get a metal router bit and not a grinder. I made that mistake.

 

thanks for the link. i am going to try it this weekend. did you install those Orings and where did you get them if you did use them. and what is a metal router bit and why do i need it?
