I vote yellow line.
Has your stuff shipped from TRS yet? I think I may take this approach to mounting the projectors: TRS Tips: Mounting and Aligning Projectors in a Headlight Retrofit - YouTube

Mine have not shipped yet... UPS got the order though I guess.

Got the reflector buckets out and cleaned *most* of the permaseal out of the channel tonight. So far I've got about 4 hours into this project; 3 getting the lights separated and 1 more taking out the reflectors and cleaning the headlight channels. I'll have all of my parts tomorrow so these are my intentions:
- fit projectors into reflectors tomorrow afternoon
- paint reflector buckets tomorrow night
- install wiring harness while waiting on paint to dry between layers tomorrow night
- paint shrouds tomorrow night
- aim and permanently attach projectors Saturday morning
- mount halos and make shroud extensions Saturday while epoxy is curing
- reassemble headlights Saturday night so they can cure all day Sunday
- install them Sunday night!!!
That's if all goes well....... Haha! I'm sure there will be some kinks along the way but with all the great help we'll work through it. Thanks guys for the help so far!

So I was watchin that alignment video and my problem is that I don't really have access to 25 ft. My garage is 21 then my driveway starts to immediately slope. Will it be a problem if I don't have 25 ft?
Btw. Looks like my kit will be here tomorrow!! Unfortunately I'm not sure if ill get around to it this weekend.

In my way of thinking as long as you align the lights the same distance from the wall as when you marked them isn't it going to be the same? To an extent at least. I mean obviously if you're doing it like a foot from the wall it's not going to be aligned. But at 21' it should be pretty much the same
