Pretty pissed

go some hids from philips, install them and what do i learn? one of them is defective and will not go into highbeam, so i switched it to the other light to make sure it wasnt just wiring, and yes, bulb still doesnt go into highbeam, so i got one that goes into highbeam and one that doesnt. pretty pissed, now i have to pay for shipping to get a warrentied part and to ship the defective one back. sob!!! and for the life of me i cant get my drivers side head light in properly. i just want to throw it against the wall already damit!!!!

i just dont like the hassle and the extra 60 bucks shipping it will cost me. and i can get the passenger side one good, but the driver side seems to be up a quarter inch higher and i cant get it in proper. if i line it up like the other one the bolt holes dont line up. so the passenger side is sitting nice, and the driver side has a quarter inch space on the bottom between it and the bumper.

Dual beam retro. You can do it on the cheap these days, though I love my Infiniti FX-R setup.
