I installed some from Amazon. I wish it was brighter but they look okay for $20 (for 4).

Here are a few better pics, I got these from Amazon. They're not bad, but like everyone has mentioned already, could be brighter.

We all have limited resources to pull from, so naturally we buy the same products.

Just got these in. They look great.
Wish there was a way to slightly rotate the projection.
I ended up mounting the one labeled R on left side of car and vice versa.
It seemed backwards If I didn't mount them that way

I have zero play in the wiring, but need to swap mine to face the same way too, right now, they all over the place lol

There r 4 tabs on the lens.. Gently pry them off and the projector has a tab that you need to push in with a tiny flat head... Rotate it then put everything back n it will work... That's what I had to do

I appreciate your help
I got the black lens piece out but I'm not seeing anything to rotate on it.
I must be blind.
Guess you mean flip it around. There is no fine adjustment like I was thinking.

Got mine installed and facing the right way, had to swap sides on 2 of them and they look perfect now. Super happy with these, bright and clear!
