Passenger side. Both freshly cleared, 1000 to 2500 grit wet sand, with meguire's plastx to coat it. Didn't use any sealant. This passenger side is much directly in the sun than the drivers side.

This is normally (for me) adjusted low beams. At 25-30 ft, the beam dips down ever so slightly, measured at the left notch where it starts to descend.

With my normally adjusted lows, this is my high beam pattern. Clearly trying to shed light on the meaning of life, rather than the deer jumping in front of my car.

Now if I keep those highs on, and adjust for the high beam pattern to be somewhat useful, this is what I get. I know this looks fine for a high beam pattern, but it's not actually outputting that much light on the road. Not even what I'd call average for other car's low beams.

Then I run into this when I turn off the highs. I'm sorry this picture's out of focus, but that low beams is pretty much lighting up the 10-15 feet in front of my car perfectly.... but nothing beyond that.

This is a picture of both sets of fog lights on, and the low beams, which are currently adjusted low for the good high beam pattern.

High beams on a road near me. Those signs are 35ish feet away by my best guess.

Low beams in the same spot, which are still clearly way too low and absolutely not useful at all.

Properly seated high beam! Just releases the beam more! I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks at night.

Properly seated low beam. Much higher concentration of light along where it cuts off, but the cutoff isn't sharp at all. Maybe it's time for a lens upgrade anyway..... :)

High beams that don't shoot into the sky! Wow!

Looking forward to seeing these lows at night. Much higher concentration of light near the cutoff than ever before, although the cutoff is still not too hot. Maybe it's time for lenses anyway :) I'll take more pictures when I aim them against the wall tonight. I'll make sure I bring a measuring tape too!

Low beams, with iPhone camera focused on the light to better show the focus.

High beams. I have since adjusted them about 6 times while driving to my buddy's house, just tweaking them up and down and all around.
