So there's no negative connection? I always thought you had to have positive and negative.

How do I tilt the cutoff?
I'm sorry I have so many questions, this is my first projector retrofit/HID experience. XD

if you turn the projector in the headlight you should be able to seat it so the cutoff is flat, no?

keep in mind, if you remove the bulb and look through the projector you can see the plate for the high/low beams....you should notice that everything will look upside down...

in past, ive used a flashlight to set the projector angle in the headlight....just sit the headlight on a table flat as it would sit in your car...might require some propping

aim it at a nearby wall and adjust the angle of the projector

I did notice everything looked upside down.

I was referring to the 3 pointed clip in the back that comes with the projector, it fits into the OEM housing and when it's seated in there it's at a strange angle.
Would you recommend not using it?

I suppose I could just work without it? I don't think it should move.

Got them installed. I'll try and get some pics once I get them adjusted.
