Default ACA lights

Hey Guys,

For those that bought and installed their ACA housings and lights, did the fact that the high beams can't be aimed ever become a problem?

Did that fact keep others from not buying them? What did you end up going with?

For $300 bucks they seem to be a deal.

I have 4300 temp HID lows and fogs and that provides me plenty of light. The only times I use my high beams is when I flash to pass. That's why I kept them halogen.

My high beams can be aimed just fine, but that's also because I ripped out the ACA projectors and put Morimoto bi-xenon projectors instead.

So same housing? How expensive was that to do?

Yep. With the hids. Is the install beyond a novice?
