Looks good. You sure it wasn't squirrel nuts that blew up in it? J/k, it may also be from the projector swap because something similar happened to mine, unless you know for a fact it was the packet...

I know for sure it was the packet. When I was swapping the projectors, I was taking out the packet, and it was caught on one of the bulb securing hook thingies and it ripped apart... got most of it out but some of it still made its way over there =(

Yup, I am going...registerd and everything , strongly considering picking up a front lip in time for the meet, acura of woodbine has them on discounted at great prices, roughly $215 (mis-matched colours)...add 100 + tax for paint.

looks to me like the beam patter is off.

like the horizontal is a bit off.

but it's hard to tell, I'm not sure about distances and exact patterns and such.

nice though, very nice.

I think you need to reverse a little more and then see how the cut off looks. Mine is totally off from far but looks perfect in a similar distance as you have illustrated
