I'm still not sure though If you look at the 50mm modules, it appears that the high and low beam projectors are the same size in diameter with the high beam being longer i think. The projectors in the pictures above are two different sizes.

My up and down adjustments in my stock housings are broke (long brass rod)
Will these lights allow me to adjust up and down without the use of the stock up and down adjustment. It looks like they do but let me know.
Thanks

Sorry guys. I went by what the manufacturer of the kit told me. I think he meant that for the highs.

The low beams are 50mm and the high beams are 60mm. Check out Hella Germany. You might find the 60mm there.

I'm afraid not man.

The adaptor plate mounts to that adjustment bracket and gets drastically changed to angle the beams upward to compensate for the lower opening height.

Put me on your list to buy once you're done. I have'nt been impressed with any of the others styles I've seen up to now.
