    I ordered mine from retrofit source as well. The quality seems great, and I'm happy with the beam, but i have to work on tightening them. Whenever i hit a bump they move a little more than they should. One of those things thatll drive ya nuts. I painted everything gunmetal and looks pretty sharp if I do say so myself. I'll work on some pictures. Taking everything back off tonight to try and tighten 'er up. Let me knowhow yours go.

    Ok fellas...what about cutting a shim ring out of gasket material (it'll take the heat), & installing that between the projector base & the housing?

    Seems to me like that'd take all the wiggle out of the assembly, & be nearly invisible if it were black, or if you used some hi temp black paint, or even a black sharpie marker.

    Don't like that idea?...how about some 3M double stick...

    Or am I looking at this wrong...
