Good job with the install. I'm anxiously awaiting mine to show up. Most likely next year but that's okay.

Need more photos at night of the cutoff/brightness compared to stock.

Find a building or garage door at ~25ft

I'm taking the cricket sounds as a 'no' on the D.O.T. question. Not sure that's a deal breaker, just noting the question was asked.

Halos only:



All lights on, honestly my phone couldn't even handle it:




Honestly the best upgrade I've done to my car aside from the cam swap.

Wicked! To me, the best looking lights on the market. They look contemporary, but not out of place.

If I was still in the workforce, where my job back then had me heading out at 5:25AM, when it was still dark, I'd definitely be looking at these lights.....

Would like to hear from Kitt regarding ordering now or waiting. I thought i read that a version 2 was upcoming. Was V2 going to include a bezel? (thought i saw that somewhere) Also, maybe he's not even taking any more orders right now for V1.

I have say that is definitely a big upgrade in lighting.
I like the overall design. Could I ask what are the light pattern output adjustment abilities ? Can you owner adjust the cutoff levels so there not too high/low ?
Thanks

Yep! It bolts right in to the stock assembly, so you retain the stock up/down and left/right adjustments.
