Default Recon Headlights

Okay so I know this seems to be beating a dead horse but I can't seem to find anyone that is posting pictures of their recon lights on a wall.

I posted up some pics in the Aftermarket section.

Here are my recons installed and a picture of the output on the garage wall. I dont like the amount of light being spread everywhere. Is this what everyone's looks like?

Are the projector globes upside down? My projectors have a straight line when shown on a wall.

Mine look like that as well. I was REALLY disappointed in the "Angel Eyes" They are REALLY dim.

Wow...that concerns me quite a bit, especially since I was leaning towards buying a set of Recons. I as well would like to see a set of Recons showing a better line than that.

Recon projectors SUCK. I put HIDs in my stock (reflector) housing and get a much better cutoff than that.
This is from 50ft away

That is very impressive. What kit did you use, what wattage and color?

How about pictures of the lights from the front so that glare or lack of is shown?

Its a DDM tuning 35w 6000k kit. Was around $60 for everything. Best thing I bought so far. They have both Hi/low beams.
Only pic I have looking at the lights

This shows how the light is kept "tight" in a beam

Most stock housings you could never do this. they just throw off light in every direction. The 09+ f150 lights are actually very good for this. They keep the light controlled. But aim your lights according to the manual when you do this. I have never been flashed ever.

That picture that shows the beam is sweet.

How long did the install take you?
