Here is the cutoff as it sits now:



I have been trying to adjust both sides and neither one moves AT ALL. Does the retrofit need to be redone or what?

Anyone know which way to adjust the ****? The manual says nothing about which way moves it up and which way moves it down?

Yes. For the horizonal movement the outer screw (top outter corner) goes left when screwed counter clockwise and right when clockwise

Vertical (inner screw on the lowbeam side) clockwise goes up and counter clockwise goes down

The issue could possibly be the weatherstripping I used from Home Depot to close the gaps. I had to try a new brand because they were out of stock of the regulat size I normally use but after I assembled it, it moved enough . I'll swap that out for you and repaint that while I fix the light for you too. Its probably not allowing you clearance to move the projectors /shroud pieces attached to the custom plate. Thus resulting in this lack of movement when screwing the small 5/16" screws

Send it to me and I'll correct it right away. Or I can show you how to do it. Either way I want to help you as soon as posible

I will as soon as I tweak them so they are perfect. I ran out of time last night, so hopefully I will be able to tweak them tonight and then get some pics up. I will probably wait a week or so and unveil all my recent mods at once

Yes they are working and they look great. The color in the cutoff is amazing. I still need to raise them up a little but not a problem. Like I said I have a few more mods that will be completed in the next week or so and then I will reveal all
