Glad it worked out. BTW, make sure you check the horizontal (side to side) sweep (?) of the lights. Its the longer (other) torx screw, and adjusts the side to side of the beams. Best way (cheap and quick ) to DIY is to park on a level surface about 15-20 feet from a plain wall, and adjust the highbeams to bang on straight. This will automatically adjust the low beams so you wont dazzle other drivers.

I just bought Silverstars, on sale at Advance Auto Parts (buy 1 get 1 1/2 price ). Supposedly much brighter. I will post pics of stock/silverstar differences once they are in!
