How do you align and aim the beams?

Most headlights should have cutoff adjustments- look for a screw or bolt on the backside of the headlight housing or try to find a resource online. There is no way to adjust the cutoff on the projector itself. I will give a word of advice: make sure the cutoff is level before reassembling everything. The specs aren't perfect, so there might be some free play in the rotation. Hope this helps

Aligning the beams rotation is done simply by leaving the nut on the back somewhat loose, then mounting them in the vehicle, and physically rotating the projector by hand. The up/down aiming is still done with the vehicles stock adjustment screw.

The same way you align and aim your headlights, but these are meant for retrofits, meaning if you are doing both headlights the mounting spots for these 2 should be identical on both headlights.

Depends on what you mount them on. Headlight housing adjustment. Fog light adjustment

Install with high beam acuator motor on bottom and level then about 20-30ft or so from a wall/garage use vehicle stock adjusters to aim highth should be about as high as normal passenger size cars trunk lid or little lower than light themselves

You can use wedge shims to adjust up and down. But if you use the existing holes in the headlight housing to mount the new projector it should not need to be aimed.

They mount into your original headlight so you will still be able to adjust your light as normal.

I had the same problem. I kept fiddling with the alignment of the parts - rotating and locking, etc - and I finally got it right. I was almost ready to give up though. I wish I could remember the sequence and rotation of the parts, for you.

I used a 3/8" bit for the through holes in the beam. The bolts are 3/8" so you have to tap them through with a hammer. I recommend that you use a drill with a built in bubble level in order to get a straight hole. That's a pretty long hole to drill by eye. Also you may have to do a lot of sanding on the 4x4's and 4x6 in order to get them into the brackets. Lumber dimensions vary even within each piece. I uses a 5" orbital sander and it still took a while. Good luck!

If you play with the adjusters a little you should be able to align them properly. Don't tighten everything completely until they're squared up.

The default settings are to use the arrow keys to aim and space bar to shoot. I'm sure its possible to change that, but I haven't tried

Splice into your high beam light wIring. So that when you use the high beams. The shield moves appropriately. Red is almost always positive. While black is ground.

To add to Michael's response, if you do not have a drill with a level or are inclined to make a jig (like me), start your holes from what will be the underside of the beam. This will ensure that the spacing where the chains connect is consistent. No matter how plumb you think you have the drill, it is almost guaranteed to be off by the time it gets to the other side of the beam if you are just eyeballing it. Having some deviation at the top of the beam is more forgiving than at the bottom.

Yes.. You can't change the beam but the height and side ways angle can be adjusted.

Take off the vertacle and horizontal adjustment caps pick a distance 20-30 yards and shoot and adjust over and over till zeroed in after that you have to aim higher or lower depending on your target

When I got mine I did not have to collimate it. You do have to use the proper lenses and focus each one as you switch between them. I'd call Orion - they will help you out.

I have noticed the beam is narrow and tall when these lights are mounted in the normal way. These lights are very bright when looking at them head on, but if you move to the left/right by 10-20 degrees, the light output is much less. So if you mount them vertically, then their beam will be wide and short.

You would need take out the front plastic cover. The one around the lens by twisting it to the left. So push and twist it off. Replace that with your plastic adapter and then screw your lens in.. There are 2 dots you need to align and twist to the right. I hope this helps..

Most users place it on the seat post. You can adjust the light side to side but the only way to aim it higher is to shim under the bottom of the mount. However the beam is wide enough to be quite effective and the angle of the post.

You manually slide the lens housing in and out to adjust the beam from wide-angle to narrow. It is easy to do and seems to maintain the focus you adjust it to.

There are mounting holes down the center of the bracket so you can mount directly to the center of the beam. I used longer screws than were supplied with it.

Although the beam of light is not adjustable it is very concentrated to the direction it is aimed. The neck of the light is very adjustable and can be Aimed many directions.
