So today I finally adjusted them, and it does help quite a bit. Reason being the factory alignment is of course too high for these, but mainly because (at least on mine) the passenger factory light alignment was much higher than the driver's side light. I guess that's old school to compensate for weak lights, trying to throw some further down the road. Once I got them a little lower (about 8 inches or so down to hit 3' high at 25' as per the forum writeup) and brought the right down to match the left, the hot spots are not as bad. Next step will be to shim the passenger side light to move its hot spot away from the driver's. I think once they're not crossing or lining up the beams will look more solid in the center.
I may do the mod to add the horizontal adjustment screws, but it sounds easier just to shim.
Overall, the light output on these things is sick. And the brights - holy hell. I seriously cannot throw the brights on with reflective road signs close by or I blind the crap outta myself.
I teetered back and forth whether to switch to the JWs, but now decided they're keepers.
Only things still bugs me is during freezing weather it only heats the upper half. I don't know if I were to hit the brights if it would heat the full lens, but that's what I'd assume. Really wish it would heat the entire lens even on low beam. I won't be hitting any major snowstorms locally, but I'd think for some of you up north it would make sense to have the entire lens burning away the snow - especially where it tends to collect at the bottom of the light.
One more note: I've seen others post that they sometimes don't heat in freezing weather - I think it's because the lens itself is still >50 degrees either from being in the garage or just from the heat of the engine perhaps.
