thanks dessi! this may end up being my project for today, instead of putting overlays on my tails like I had planned...

and def try the screw on the inside if you haven't... when I got mine, they were pointed straight at the ground, but they were fine once I adjusted them.

is it h7 for high and low?
are the bulbs included from fastscions.com?
do the halos just wire to the parking light socket?
how do u plug in the highs and lows?
since the leds r gonna go out anyways, do i even need to worry about it, and just cut the wire off?

I just baked mine open... wow what a pain! But now that I have them open, I have no idea how you would disconnect the led's. Do you just cut the wires? Also, do I leave the led's in there or should I take them out?

Thanks for all your help guys!

tctctc the h7 bulbs are for the lows and h1 for the highs.. to disconnect the leds you will have to open the headlights and clip the wires...

How did everything go?? My project of fixing the cutoff went kabooie lol. I think I'll get a new pair and just fiddle with the little screw on the back.

Sorry Dessi! I forgot to take that pic for you.... you know which screw we're talkin about now tho? If not, I can still take a pic of it....

As for my project with these.... it's still in progress... I pretty much just took them apart and painted a little design on the reflectors. I got somebody who said they wanted to take a look at the LEDs and see what they could do, but it's taking forever! If he doesn't do it by this weekend, I'll just go with my original idea and finish them up myself.

After going to the Scion Exposed this past weekend, kinda made me feel good that I didn't see anybody else with these on.... so yay for me!

lol. You're more patient then me. I'd need to finish everything in one day. Right now I'm baking my lights to see if I can fix the cut off that isn't there lol. Wish me luck.

And yes I know which little screw thing you're talking about and thanks!

Question, what if you go higher then what the cutoff was normally? Will this reduce lighting? I know I went an inch lower and I had no cutoff at all.

Trust me... I wanted everything done in 1 day. But once it got to the LEDs, I had no clue what I was doing and didn't wanna do anything to mess it up. And then I found somebody who wanted to take a look at them, but it's been at least a couple weeks I've taken them apart, so I can't wait much longer.

I didn't really take a close look at the cutoff since I wasn't really concerned with that. Once I adjusted the little screw in the back, it was fine for me. I would think if you went any higher, you probably would lose some light output. Although don't take my word for it.... I really have no idea about that stuff.

And I may be a little late.... but good luck!

I'm glad to see more and more people modding their anzo's. First off I found it easiest just to cut the wires to the led's, removed the led boards, and covered up the holes with electrical tap so no light would escape throught the holes. As for the projectors dessilu, I highly recommend just buying some REAL projectors and retro fit them in. I tried many times modding the cuttoff of the anzo projectors, but at the end of the day, I couldn't stand the uneven beam and poor light distribution no matter what I did to the cuttoff plate. I hope everything works out, and let me know if you have more questions.
