The lights will turn on automatically with our cars. The DRL's will always be on and then all your lights turn on when it gets dark enough out.

You would need to rewire them to have all 4 on at the same time. Not sure how though.

I just installed my hid's in my CCFL projectors, and i managed to get my high adjusted, but as far as the horizontal, turning the knob does nothing, i also found u can use a long handled screw driver to get at the lower knob so taking the housing out isn't necessary.

I dont know if mine is broken or if the movement is very very very subtle. When i turn the knob from the top it doesnt seem like its moving. Now my high beam chrome reflector is moved off center. I dont know how that happened. I wish i had my stock lights

That only applies to gen 2. You need H1s.

I put these lights in like 3 days ago and i just noticed last night that the ccfl "bar" isnt working on either headlight...which is fine i like them the way they are but if i am going to have problems with the halos and leds going out i dont want anything to do with them

does anyone else have this problem?

Sometimes cycling the lights on and off might turn it on. Sometimes it just takes awhile for the CCFL to light up.

When you intially turn them on, it takes awhile before the CCFLs actually turn all the way on.

They have a break in time too.

Never had them fog

I am very happy with ESP with HIDs

Does anyone know if the led's and maybe even the ccfl bar can be turned off, without opening the housing, like by just cutting some wires on the back?
