    I ordered both spot beams as well and they seem very spread?? they light a lot of the road up directly on front of the rig so I don't think I'll worry about the light bar.

    I'll get them adjusted properly and make a better judgement after I've used them for a while.

    Thanks again,

    Hey Andy I think if you undo the base bolt you can rotate the base quarter turn to angle the lights better. Basically instead of it going side to side you make that part tilt forwarding back. Hard to eplain but have a look and you might get an idea of what I mean.

    Because HID are so bright these days I don't worry about the spread beam and run two 9" spot'
    If I require spread I just flick the 240 watt light bar. bummer they dont throw the light out further.

    your lights spread due to the lense the other lights have a flat clear lense and spread due to the reflector you can see the diffrence on the ebay photos

    1st pic is a spot

    If you have the factory bar, you don't get much room for lights,thats for sure.

    My other set of 9", lights adjust like yours, you'll find you can get them spot on.
    they seem to sit on the ridge not in it from what I've found,
    You'll figure it out,
