thanks!

oh yeah, does anyone have pics of these..
on their car? or the real jdm's? im looking for a set of kind of smoked headlights...
Those headlights look pretty

About the headlights:

-Set your correct tire pressure, and then park the car on a flat surface facing a wall, parking 25 feet away.
-Measure from the ground to the center of each headlamp and mark this spot on the wall.
-Measure the distance between the headlamps and mark this on the wall.
-Turn the lamps on.
-Center the high beam on the mark on the wall.
-Stand behind the car and make sure the beam is parallel to the direction of travel of the car.
-Check your adjustment by switching to low beam.
-The low beam horizontal cut-off should fall about three inches at 25 ft. below your mark on the wall for the center of the headlamps.
-Finally, take a test drive, as aiming is partially a matter of personal taste and vision.

For driving lamps, aim them as you would your high-beam headlamps.
