I was surprised. I searched everywhere on the forums and on YouTube and no one that I found posted how to do this.

I've had to adjust the height on my covers, but the swivel was good so I didn't even look into it. Good info.

Glad Bob was able to help you out. I gave him a call when I broke free from my other engagement but he said he was on his way to take you home and the lights were done. They look much better now for sure. How did the detail job turn out?
