Thanks to my girlfriend Cheryl who did the check-in and registration for me haha

Thank you Romie @frsguy707 for missing work just to help me out

And lastly, thanks to my good friend Jimmy (the guy with the TC) for being our official event photographer. He will be doing a 5 minute video for us.

Congrats to all the winners of the raffle especially for @buhawii for winning the grand prize rotors

@86_ZN6 hope your buddy jimmy and his car is okay. He had a little under steer accident that on the 2nd part of mines rd. Almost ran into the side of the mountain if he didn't quickly fixed his mistake. I was behind him and I stayed with him for a bit to make sure he's okay and everything. :/

I wish I had that recorded but my GoPro was out of battery... Who knew the battery only lasted an hour after a complete charge. Anyways he should have it all recorded from his point of view and it's up to him if he wants to post it up.

The housing will have an adjustment knob (looks more like a gear with a nut on it) that will adjust the angle of the low beam bulb and the way it sits. So lowering the angle won't necessarily decrease brightness, but it will lower the cutoff which can reduce glare. Keep in mind that lowering the angle will lower the distance the light shines on the ground. To be honest, most owners even at factory height don't lower the angle and still don't have any glare issues. I only mentioned that adjustment knob for certain owners that are meticulous about their light output.
