under mods in electrical or inter/extioer there are a few threads, you can also find them alot cheaper on ebay if you care, personally i want the other style with the LED strip down the side, but i was going to pull the trigger on these.

the projectors are meant for halogens and not HID, the retrofit source has a HID replacement you can do to these

We have these that looks more like OEM with the blackout / chrome. They are projector with the cutoff. So you don't blind oncoming traffic. They take H7 bulbs.

Gives you another option.

Thanks

I swear I looked at your site and couldn't find anything. Maybe I'm internet illiterate or something. I'll go with those. They look better and I've always had good luck with you guys (ECS). Not that M7 is not a good company, just no experience with them.

Look on Amazon.. I have the same lights, Spec D… tough to aim correctly, but besides that..
If the lights on the ECST Are easier to aim, go with them.

The lights we carry linked above have the manual adjustments on the back for aiming far left and right on the rear. . Little hex rod with a slot for a flat head. Out of the box they are pretty close to being aimed we noticed.



Thanks
