before after
trim the mold flashing across the lower edge of the headlight bucket with an xacto
or razor blade.
test fit the new headlight assembly. this will give you an idea where you need to cut
the lower inside part of the headlight bucket. youll need to remove an approximately 1"
square directly below where the lowbeam plug is positioned. cut and remove this section.
approximate cutting lines after
you should now be ready to bolt the assembly in place. push the assembly into the
bucket until all the brackets are seated. install the long bolt on the top inside
mounting bracket using 2 washers between the bracket and the mount, and 1 washer on
the ends. using 2 washers on each bolt, install the 3 bolts on the lower edge of the
assembly.
fitting
using the remaining top bracket as a guide, drill a 3/16 to 7/32 hole in the top
bar of the headlight bucket.
install the bolt through the bracket and hole you drilled in the previous step.
plug in the wiring harness. the connector with 3 wires plugs into the stock wiring,
the 2 wire plug plugs into the low beam and the bullet connectors are for the high beam.
polarity for the bullet connectors is not important.
aiming:
turn the top screw clockwise to lower the beam and counter clockwise to raise it.
turn the bottom outside screw to move the beam toward the centerline of the car or
counter clockwise to move the beam outward.
you should not need to adjust the bottom inside screw.
NOTE: the bolts holding the brackets to the carbon fiber mounting plate are
loctited. if you must remove these please make sure to reapply loctite. I
also strongly recommend using loctite on the other bracket bolts that are
used when installing the kit.
