I still can't remember where I heard that from. Should look like this though


This is a d2r bulb, see how it's painted? it blocks some of the light to prevent glare, like a cut off line does, only this is directly on the bulb. I think this is something like what they use in the Prius.

 

People tell me this, but where exactly behind the headlight? I need to get back under there and see if I can see what you are talking about.

And no I have not fixed it, I have been so busy. I am dissapointed in myself

 

And thanks Tommy, I have seen that bulb type before but I didnt realize what it was. Wonder the cost difference...

 

I put my ballasts on the metal "shelf" under the headlight bracket.

 

So if I'm looking at the front of the car, I would slide them twards me, in that black piece the headlight bolts to? I confoosed

 

You could screw them to the underside of the headlight bracket. But if you take that bracket out, you will see a small piece of metal that the front of the bracket bolts too. It's just wide enough to fit two ballasts on side by side, perfect for your low beam and fog light ballasts.

 

So I can still get to it without taking that bracket off?

 

no you would still have to take the bracket off. There really isn't a good place to get to the ballasts without taking the brackets off.

 

Mine came with a mounting braket that the ballasts slide into, so i double side-taped them to the inner finders haha, and it has held up well, But thanks I will look for that slot.
