[QUOTE="*Jay*, post: 11619499, member: 108453"] *UPDATE* Since my headlight covers were pretty trashed and could have possibly been causing my double cutoff problem I decided to clean them up some. Wet sanded them down with 800/1000/2000 grit and then coated with a 50/50 mix of mineral spirits and clear polyurethane spar. I still have the double cutoff but after a few WTF moments I started playing with the bulb position in the projector. Some twisting changed the projection so I may try a different brand of bulbs, I had the same issue with 2 sets of DDM bulbs. Here are some pics of my recoated headlights with the flat black projectors. The pics dont do them justice, it was well worth the 45 minutes I took on them from start to finish. The covers are very clean now and looking great, only problem is now I can see all the little bits of gray sealant that oozed out inside the housing. Just another lesson learned, I will go back in and clean them up someday but for right now Im calling this project done. Crappy headlight cover. [ATTACH=full]301662[/ATTACH] Sanded down. [ATTACH=full]301663[/ATTACH] Recoated!!! [ATTACH=full]301664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301665[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
