Has anyone played with plugging the glare holes on the mini h1's? Also ( this is for tommy p )- I read that you played with the washers a bit to get a nice cut off, did you also bend the cutoff shield at all?

nope I never touched the cutoff shield, I could have to get it a bit sharper, but I wanted a bit more color. I just took 1 of the washers off each top bolt, which added a bit of color, and removed the bow that the mini's used to have (not sure if they've fixed that yet). I also covered my glare holes with a small piece of aluminum tape.

Real current gen Morimoto MH1s dont have the holes on them anymore, and they have blacked out shutters. They also dont have that tiny connector that ssblackss was having trouble trying to figure out. They usually come with one washer installed. more or less changes things a little bit but Ive found the results (for me at least) not worth the extra time involved in tweaking them, especially as it can be hard to get both sides to match.

Do the current "Real" morimotos still have the cutoff that bends down at the corners? If they do, then I will work with the washers to fix it. If they do not then I'll just leave them be

Found a new problem about why the high beams where not working. I found that I had a high beam fuse blown and it keeps blowing them. What could make this happen? Everything is wired up correctly now but fuses keep blowing everything e I flip to the high beam. @$&@$@&$@&! Retros!

crazy thing was that i had high and low beams for about a minute and the were reversed. the low was on for the high and the high was on for the low. I then switched the wiring and now i can hear the fuse pop when I switch on the lights. I love the way these look but this process is awful. I have to pull it all out and start over again.

Here are mine, Joe07SSYellow made them for me. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pict...retros-273987/
Really, I couldn't be happier. Describes what I wanted and showed him mockups of the paint job I'm looking to do once the Tjin comes in (someday?) and he made me exactly what was in my mind's eye. They're perfect.
Crappy cell phone takes bad pics but here are some. I wish I could show you guys how really nice these are.

Looking for a nice set of retro headlights. I would like a black shroud... If you are willing to sell yours please pm me.. They are by far the best looking headlights for these cars
