trust me the last ones he did for me were perfectly aligned, he puts a lot of time and effort to get the headlights just right. the low beams he did for me before were better than the stock high beams

I am asking because I did retro myself in my previous car and I had hard time with "dark" spots-OEM housing interfering with beam path. It took a while to get them aligned too-left them at less than 100%.It seems that OEM xenon projector headlight housings are designed to avoid such dark spots.
I am pondering retro in G...

Tony - so when can we see those installed pixs. And i believe those to be the best headlights to be placed on a G, 10x better than the 06's.

bi-xenons are Hi & Lo.
Usually work with a shutter to change the beam. (only one light)

The car is still being painted.. actually it just needs buffing now. I got to play around with the lights today and they are AMAZING, by far the nicest headlights I've seen yet. The blue glow in the pictures is right on, in the dark it looks kind of evil. The cutoff is perfect as well, completely the same as stock.
