Nope.. Not adjusted. I just threw them on the car and checked different depths to make sure they'd clear. I don't have any projectors at the moment for the high beams..

So in order to swap in some 6000k HID bulbs, would I need to do any modifications to the projector?

Just a tip, say you're from nasioc.com and you get 10% off at rallylights.com You need to go on the forum and look up a random username and say that's you.

Same thing happens to mine. I have 35watt lows and 35watt fogs and sometimes not all of them turn on. Or what seems to work for me is not to switch both on at the same time..So first I turn on the headlights, then after a few seconds turn on the fogs.
I would rather install a relay if that would help, just need to find out how to wire it up.

I bought mine off Ebay and haven't had an issue. They came direct from China, and each kit was something like $30 shipped to my door.

It should fix the issue. I want mine to be no different than OEM. I don't install parts for them to more of a PITA than what came from the factory, everything should improve my experience.

I bought my fogs off Ebay and my lows off DDM.

The dog was the best part of the video. lol. Also, pics/vids without the fogs on would be nice, since putting HIDs in the fogs kinda makes going through the trouble of putting projectors in the low beams redundant due to the crappy beam pattern of the stock fog lights. Here's my vid of the stock fogs vs. the BLS kit:

Mine are the stock fogs. 99% sure that Trams fogs are the stock ones too, which BTW, are the same ones that I have - just different left to right spacing.

Mine arn't the stock fog housings, but they arn't projectors either. I didn't want the yellow halogen bulbs with the low beam HID's so I put HID's in there as well.

I had to spend some time aiming them down so that the fractured light didn't blind everyone. I bet I made 35 passes with my wife driving my car and I in her car until I was happy they weren't obnoxious.

So I finally got my Hella's in. I installed some 6000k bulbs and hooked them up. VERY nice! Quick question though. When adjusting them, about how high off the ground should the cut off be? These things are BRIGHT!
