Also, has anyone found anything stuck behind the lenses? I had a piece of string and a lot of small pieces of dirt or somethin.

I think i just got really messed up ones.
Actually I have this problem. Started about 3 weeks ago, I started a thread on it somewhere. But anyway, the ebay person supposedly sent me out my replacement a few days ago so i'm just waiting on getting it back and seeing if it fixes the problem.

No no sorry lol. It was like that from the time I got them. One just had a yellow tinge to it. Tried switching HID bulbs, ballast and even switched the headlight and plugged them in to see if it was some wiring but problem followed the one light

damn... I got my Depo's on, but I notice the gap between the headlight and the bumper, and saw the tabs not hooked underneath the bracket to sit properly. How did you guys installed yours? Did you rip of the bumper or got luck for the tabs to hook under without trouble?

I have a very small gap between the bumber and the light. The tabs on mine hooked good except for the one on the far right on the passenger side. I had to bend the plastic bracket a little to get that tab in.

damn... the chrome one's look good on your cobalt. How did you bend your bracket to get the tabs to fit in perfectly? did you have to rip your bumper off? because its both sides for me. If I could get the tabs to fit in perfectly there probably won't be much gap and looks a lot better. I order the same kind of HID's, which are the slims ballasts 6000k H7's and H11's.

I took some pliers and slightly bent the black plastic tab that holds the light on up. I also had to take the top round clip on each side of the upper grill out to get light in and out.

Thats a good question. I have another set of H11's on order from DDM. I'm thinking they'll arrive around the 17th.

Yeah, I was originally was going to get the Raptors for the H11's, but DDM was out of stock beginnning of March at the time. So my mind grew inpatient and said to myself "for $20 more I could get the slim ballasts to make everything match, why not?". So I told DDM to update my order, instead of waiting till March 11 to ship off the raptors, since the order was placed on Feb 26. They immediately shipped off my order with the Slim ballasts, instead of the Raptors on March 1st and got them yesterday. I couldn't be much happier that I did that, and was completely satisfied with the lights.

Well i did my fogs first so i mounted them probably where most people mount their headlight ballasts. On the metal that's right in front and below the headlights- on top of that on a horizontal plane. I had to get creative with the headlights i found a vertical plane behind the headlights with some metal to stick them to.
