Old topic I know, but took forever to find anything how to aim the s15 style lights.... Esp a lot of stuff saying you can't adjust them left/right. However, just like posted earlier here adjusting the 2 adjusters in conjunction with each other does it. Thanks a lot man, your a life n' labor saver!

Glad I could help!

Quick update on the HID lights:One of the Xentec ballasts failed me, and I've replaced everything with a super-cheap Raptor kit from DDM tuning.http://www.ddmtuning.com/index...nt=85As far as I can tell, the Raptor kit contains the exact same components as the Xentec kit, as all the connections were compatible and had the same neon yellow gaskets. Everything's working fine now.Oh, and I supposedly went to 6000k bulbs up from 5000k, but I really can't tell any difference.

Originally, yes, from SuperBrightLEDs.com or someplace like that.They only lasted about a year before they flickered and failed (3 of them, at least, I bought 2 sets so I'd have spares) but now I've just got off-the-shelf amber 194 bulbs.

Hello,

I know this thread is crazy old, but there seems to be lots of useful information. The pics don't seem to be viewable anymore. Is there any possible way to post them back up to this thread for everyone to see?

I know for sure I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

It doesn't seem to be letting me edit my old posts to fix the links, but I still have most of my old photos.
Hope someone finds these helpful.

Sorry these things aren't in any particular order.

Also wanted to add that while the cheap eBay Xentec kit I bought only lasted 6 months, the even cheaper Raptor eBay kit I bought to replace them is still going strong after 6 years.
