Anybody done the projector lamp upgrade using the kits from IPD S70

After I got a nice rock through the passenger side Ecode lense, I purchased a set of projector beams - made in China of course.

It did have a flat cut off like the Ecodes, but not as bright down the road. I also like to have low beams that can be used at 45-55mph, safely.
The biggest problem with the assembly was the mounting points. The metal used for the 10mm screws was not grooved enough and the plastic was too thin. Before the assembly could be snugged to the frame, the round mounting metal was turning in the plastic. After total disassembly of the new lamps, there was no way that the cheap parts could be made to handle more than 2 lbs of torque.
In otherwords, junk! Any bump on the road and the headlights would bounce up and down.

Just get some Ecode lenses and aim them yourself.
