As far as aiming. You need night and a wall. Park 20 feet off the wall and check. cut off should be right around waist high.

Yeah i feel it. I went for simplicity. Although its not horribly overpriced considering it comes with everything even a relay harness and a warranty. I dont really have the tools to make my own

If you feel like going for quality... Morimoto is top of the line. These two coupled together would make an awesome retrofit.

Those type of lenses are super cheap to buy again lol. Amazon.com is a good place, much faster than ebay. How did you break it? Were you trying to take off the plastic from the front? I've seen online that people put them in the oven to melt the glue lol
