Came out great! What shroud did you use for the top projector? Have to modify it much to get it to fit?

Both ballast are zip tied above the right side intake tube. The little capacitors (or whatever they are) are zip tied in the middle upper support I believe. The wires are ran on left side on inside of frame rail to battery. I don't think I had to extend the wires for high beam. I tied both solenoids together inside the headlight and just have a connector coming out, just don't remember if it was top or bottom projector

All mounted. Think I need to relook at something as I was adjusting the aim the upper projector was not moving and the lower projector was coming up. So you can see the pic on garage door it looks like it's just 1 bright light and not 2.

I wish I could get my Two cutoff lines together like yours. I’m not a fan of the two lines being apart by several inches when point against a wall.

It's only that way when more than 3ft from a wall. As you get closer the upper projector is the top and then as you get further the lower projector becomes the top line.

More worries if that lower projector is blinding to people being aimed way it is.

Mine has a gap between them too looking down the road. Against a wall, they are close though.

I almost want to say my lower projector may be top at a far distance as well too.

Actually I'm pretty sure it is, I originally ran a 3000k bulb in bottom one and while I liked the light looking at the bike, like how a car would be with fogs, it was the opposite while riding so put a matching bulb in lower.

Yeah, that might be a problem.
