    There are leveling screws behind the Sypder light that unscrewa about 20 turns and then you pull the white house up and u screw a lot more.

    You'll see the threaded hole inside the light when you look in the hole.

    Just take the black leveling motor screw and place it in there....screw it back in. You have to line up a tab in the motor with a noch in the Spyder.

    Once you have the motor locked in place then you can manually set your bulbs evenly and there you go....you're ready to use the leveling switch.

    That make sense?

    those focal's look interesting, I have the entune premium in my limited, i like the sound of the stock, in my tacoma I had installed a eclipse head unit with eclipse speakers and stereo Intergrity shallow mount sub and inffinity kappa 5 amp, can't seem to find any reviews/posts on these focal's in a tundra with stock HU and entune premium. Have to check my local shop they have 'em in stock and the owner has a new platinum.

    QUESTION: When debadging... what temp do i want to use on the heat gun so that i can "easily" (no pun intended) remove the badges yet not ruin my paint? Or..is this even a factor?

    @Powder is it white paint from the board ? use a microfiber and a bit of acetone/nail polish remover. It should remove it. Wash with water /soap after then slight buff with wax.

    Low. Just need a little tiny bit to heat it up so fishing line cuts through it easier. Once you get the badge off, don't use the gun too much. The more heat you use on the sticky leftovers, the easier it will come off but will leave more of the tiny sticky residue. And getting rid of that is the hardest part.

    I am. I dipped the badges yesterday and my novice skills made them look good but i nicked the edges on both D's and R's and they've already rolled up on me.

    This lack of durability made me decide to get rid of them all. But yes, I'm starting with SR5 first;)

    Just keep the heat gun distant from the paint. You can also use a hair dryer.
