    Those didn't exist when the first post was made, I don't think. But so far as I know, they'll install with the same process. I think we were still on the Y1 when the first post was made.

    I ended up throwing my old lamps back in since I had a camping trip to get the truck ready for. But before I did that I was able to mess around with them for a bit and figured out that theres a couple of tiny philips head screws that i needes to tighten up to keep the lenses fully secure and in the correct position--something i overlooked when I rushed to put them in initially. This allowed me to finally see the bluish aberration cutoff lines but they projected very low and I ran out of time to get everything configured correctly. I'll have to go back and throw them in and do that this weekend probably.

    The initial pictures I posted with that weird light output was caused from what I think was the nose of lenses pointing too far down (since the screws weren't fully tightened) which is why I couldn't even see any traces of the cutoff line. Picture attached of what I'm referencing

    Nice, that's great. It's been long enough since I did mine that I can't picture what screws you're talking about, but I'm glad you figured it out.
