Ya that cutoff pic is from 25 feet so the step up is small. Once you get on the road you get a pretty big step up, maybe about 2 feet or so from 50 yards. So if you get the alignment right, that step up will line up with the yellow line on a 2 lane road. It works perfectly! Nice and colorful cutoff as well!

Good write up, even for those of us that had the work done by Bil. Thanks for taking the time.

I just bought and extra set of headlights to do a retro fit. after seeing yours I think I'm going to go for a set of stage fxr stage 3 or 4. not sure yet.
Are the stage 4's worth the money?

I think the only difference is the amount of warmup time. So it's waiting a couple seconds with stage 4 or waiting 15-20 seconds with stage 3

Just ordered the morimoto XB led fogs during this years Black Friday sale. If anyone still follows this thread, I'll post pictures of the output of these fogs when I get them installed.
The retrofit is still holding up. Think my driver side projector is defective though because I have a bad shadow on my driver side. Either my bulb is not sitting right or the projector itself has something wrong with it. Main reason why I'm getting the fogs and looking at some off-road lighting. The brights on these projectors are not good in my opinion. They are a spot beam so you'll get light on the road but I live in the country and need the flood/very wide high beam. If anyone knows of cheap but effective off-road lights please let me know. I looked at the rigid D2 (that's what I like) but I just don't want to drop $300 for those. I need off-road lights but not for $300 bad

A little bit cheaper and a great set of lights.

I would rather get the rigid dually for cheaper. On Amazon the dually's are $150 or somewhere close to that and they have about the same output as the ones in the link. I just don't know how bright they are. The rigid D2 have 3100 lumens per light so it puts double the light down range as the dually
