update: got it out of the garage finally
this is the pattern after adjusting the lights a bit so the beams are overlapping properly in the vertical and horizontal
i don't have access to a nice flat wall with 25ft in front of it, which is the proper spec to aim headlights, so i don't have it exactly right yet
but it looks pretty good. No blinding but nice and bright
Thanks for the followup.
Can you compare between the stock OE glass type housing VS the clear as far cut off and usability, as I see you purchased both? Did one preform better? do you have a preference? I'm ready to go ahead and order housing.
Also, I'm still debating on going with the cheaper halogen set , and refill with the better Amazon blade led's you purchased or go with the Octane 4000 lumen led set (4 sided). Do you still feel it was worth the added cost for the blades when comparing your results with the other posted patterns?
i broke one of the oem glass ones and the headlights are already closed up for now :/
if you see the beam patterns i posted that should show a good comparison, since this pattern i'm seeing is really similar to the 3 feet away pattern i saw
if by the 4000lm set you mean this one https://www.octanelighting.com/5-34-...-g5-led-2.html
i woulds steer clear, those multi faced led bulbs really screw up your beam pattern since the light is very dissimilar from the filament of a halogen bulb
the amazon ones i got mimic a filament really closely

speaking of, i like how it looks now with the clear glass and the switchback LED parking lights that turn amber when using the turn signals but are white most of the time
A word of warning on these, I had to swap the polarity of the incoming wires for these switchback led bulbs to function as I intended (white light normally, flashing orange when turning), I think it's because the polarity of the spades on c3 bulb sockets is weird
