nah. sorta stick with what works here for now, I also jb welded the shield to the solenoid so it doesnt vibrate. I figure there is no reason to ever "unmod" it so there will be no need to take the shield off again.

Any tricks on adjusting the rotation of the projector from outside of the headlight? One of mine is tilted, and I can't seem to get it horizontal again just messing with the 3 screws and moving the headlight around. I think I have to take them apart again

no tricks there. You need to make sure the rotation is correct, because the shield is so filmsy

sickness, mine didn't stick when I adjusted the holder, but I guess it depends on how you bend it. I'm guessing there is a bunch of purple above the blue also that isn't captured by the camera?

yep...there's thick purple not captured...if I get the camera to get the color in, the picture will be overexposed.

How did you get the color line so even? I have a lot of color with my TL's in the center but is drops off on the sides.
