Glad to see you caught it in time and didn't end up telling us the story about how you jammed on the brakes and watched your headlights launch out and skitter away down the road in front of you.

I had a little trouble initially trying to figure out how to make sure the headlights were properly locked in when I had to replace the low beams after one burnt out, but thankfully it was fairly easy to figure out and realizing that the loud pop was a good thing, which is usually not the case. Now at some point I may actually go about using the tools to align them properly, but they're good enough for now.
