E 63 Conversion
I just got all of my parts collected. I received one broken projector. It Is busted from the mount internally. I also noticed that the cut offs are on the bottom of the projector. I thought they would be on the top to keep the light more focused and from washing out. Can anyone chime in on this?

I took a chance on a Ebay purchase from Spyder seller was P.S. Team from Cali. when i get the new set to replace this damaged one i will get the OEM ones out and compare. Then toss some lights in them and see how it all works out. They were only 289 for the set with bulbs(Halogen).
