I don't know much about lighting at all but I'll answer the questions I'm able to...

The gap was better than stock untill I realized the lights were pointing at the f@wking ground. I adjusted them all the way up and got a huge gap.

Switched to the factory brackets and it is the same thing. I'll just play with the metal hard brackets on the car to tweak it and it'll be fine. Just waiting for it to get dark so I can figure out how much I need to adjust it.

I am using the supplied bulbs and they seem fine to me. Definetly a friggin huge improvement over stock! I may eventually look into brighter bulbs after I put my money into installing my F13 cam...

I've heard others have used washers on the bolts to push the lights forward a little and close up the gap.

Easily one of the best looking Camaro front ends ever. Projectors and HIDs are always nice, I love white Camaros, the smoked side markers and the grille look great, and I love the hoodscoop inlay on a SS hood. Perfection sir. Very nicely done.

The look great. Modernized the look of thee front. I had the same issue with the gap. Mine was about the same with the stockers. What I did and it will probably work for you is to use some metal washers to push the headlight out a little more. This will fill in the gap and will give you a little more room to adjust the lights. PM me if you have any questions about this.

Thanks for the compliment. I like the way the car looks right now and I think I am done apearance wise. I may do some interior but I am not sure. I think for now I am done modding the SS.

Looking pretty good. Makes me want to ditch the '86 and get something newer.
