Fark. Cover me, I'm goin' back in. But thanks for the info.
I ordered the lenses Dec 18 and they were shipped Dec 30. So much for the 1-2 days shipping.

I didn't put the rings in. Kept them off since I read some folks were getting bad results. This was from others who had OEM HIDs. Those who were using aftermarket HIDs seem to get better results with the rings. It almost was a YMMV scenario with those rings they provided.

Thats why you dont fully install them to test them out. I hooked up my HIDs to the projector alone to get the right balance of sharpness and color spread that i like using the washers mod. Just osmethin you have to toy with.

For some reason on mine the spacer rings made the projector unit too thick to put the screws in. The lenses didn't fully seat into the lense holders either. I would say about 90% seated in. I tried to pull them back out to re-seat them, but they were in too tight and started cracking on the sides. TRS told me later that some lenses in the earlier batches were slightly too big 
i gota chance to drive around last night and noticed the blue cutoff...although i can't really see a change in colors at different angles when looking at the front of the car.....i noticed it ONCE today on my way to work....maybe i'll move further back from the front of the car tonight.....

Here's a great how-to aiming guide:

Are you going to use the plastic aiming screw or the metal ones beneath the clear/white caps?

speaking of aiming the headlights. on my original GT model headlights. i baked them and customized it but failed to resealed them correctly and had a whole week straight of rain that allowed water to get inside and fried the auto adjust chip inside.
Those headlights now automaticallyaim sky high on its own and can't manually adjust them down with that white tab. Is there another way i can adjust those down?

hmm...if there were a seperate fuse for just the adjustment knob i'd say take that out and do them manually. other than that you may be effed untill you get a whole new unit

With the metal screws; one is for up/down and the other left/right. They are behind the white/clear caps.

you mean the metal thing that looks likea wheel of metal teeth? if so then it still doesn't budge the leveling

Yes...the metal screws with the metal teeth. There are two of them per headlight. Are you sure you adjusted the up/down one?
There's a chance the screws have popped out of the socket, thus causing it to not do anything. If that's the case, you'll have to bake open the headlight to pop the adjustment screws back into place.
