Easier said than done. And the light with the squirrel finders isnt that bad. Up here, I never got flashed even with my SF in stock position. Stick your finger in there and you'll figure it out quickly, I promise.

Okay, my paint skill sucks. However, stick your finger in the GREEN arrow direction. Push the metal tab from BLACK bold position to RED bold position. Push in real hard and you'll hit the dead-end. Reinstall bulb and see if the glare is gone.

Uh.. I believe so. If you were to reverse it, you're basically bending the metal tab back to black bold line. I would imagine bending metal back and forth may break it though. It's your call. A lot of people are happy with the result.

So here's my cutoff with stock projector. Not bad eh?
I originally bought 55w (as some of you know), but was told too bright by police, then went down to 35w. Bought a new set of 35w 4500k from DDM tuning, but the color was more of 6000k. I don't know why, their bulb colors are not consistent. Then I searched and found TheRetrofitSource sells quality parts. I bought the Morimoto 4300k 3Five bulbs and wow, these produce almost same as any other stock HID lights. I am so happy with the purchase. DDM's quality isn't bad, but their output colors are not what I expected. |

Personally I'd just say no it's not reversible. Don't know how you'd go about bending it from the inside back out.

This picture isn't from our lights specifically, but it's the same idea. See the little tab? When you press that down, it essentially plugs the hole underneath it. The light escaping from that hole will blind other people when a PnP kit is installed.
