thanks, you know, when we bought a pair of projector on banawe, we have no idea what ride it came from. we only knew, we can fit it on our ride as a fog light. when we saw the shield, we taught sa taas dapat naka place...

boy it glared bad... I almost gave up. buti nalang na try ko lagay sa baba.

2k for the pair sir s_quilicot. 2.5 inch wide lang.

DIY lang, the result was a mess, good thing hindi makikita sa loob.

the cutoff:

sang sasakyan po kinabit?

kamusta ang bato?

pwede bang pang headlight?

waterproof?

san banda sa banawe?

DIY ba ang cut off?

it's for toyota van. this shot was taken while the ride is higher, pababa kasi grahe palabas eh.

sa bato naman, not too good because of the location. imagine using a flashlight but aim with the lowest height, yung mga bato sa daan will make a longer shadows and so on... most of the light are aimed sa roads na.

kasi kung mas mababa ang light source, dapat mas steep ang aim to avoid glare... it's about avoiding the headlight throwing in your face. the cutoff is good but because of the installation limitations, the throw is splitting opposite a bit. there is no left or right cutoff like the delica projector, making the aim must be even lower.

you can use it for headlight if the height is the same with heads not fogs. but single low beam lang siya.

I am not sure with waterproof, but it seems very secure.

stock na po cutoff, but you can turn the cap to 180º along the cutoff, so puwede taas o baba ang cutoff.

I'll ask my bro where he bought it, later tommorow.
