Guys/gals w/ halos

Do you have any issue on your lights as far as the right aim lows and highs and keeping the gaps close at the same time? I fixed my lower beams aim pointed to the center pretty much to get the gaps close but my high beams aim is all jacked up. Driver side is pointing low and the other side is pointing high. If I tried to fix the highs, the lows will get jacked up.

I don't have any gaps in mine. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't understand it because I bought them used off a friend and he had large gaps in them when they were on his car.

I put washers on the studs to close up the gap a little

How about you guy's light beams? Are they all straight? Low and High beams?

Hell no. Those things were way out of whack. You'll have to adjust them to get them back to normal

I put a ton of washers on my lights to close the gaps then had to adjust the hell out of the beams. They are perfect now, but it was a total pain in the *** and took a lot of aiming and foul language to correct.

Yes, they are a pain in the rear, and the washer method will help with the gap

I didn't have any aiming problems with mine. Just marked the lights on the garage door, and re-aimed the Halo's to the same spots once they were installed. I do have a bit of a gap under the halo's that would be nice to correct sometime. Maybe later this winter after the clutch swap I will try this washer thing.
