Ya that is an issue and after sitting in the sun a little to much i got some melting/warping of the paint just below the projector. If i were to move it back a little more i think i could of prevented it. I though of wrapped the plastic just under it with either a clear piece or matching color to get around it. May do so if i take them apart again, or just wrap the whole damn thing.

Either way the headlight themselves are functioning grate, minus the morimoto demon eyes. I either missed the opening in the housing just by a few mm or the opening does not let enough light through.

If anyone wired a switch to manually turn them on or off via switch inside the cabin, let me know how and where you ran the +/- line to whereever inside the cabin.
