Is it normal to have this much light coming from the back??

 

Cant you also go off of the stick color too? 5k are brown 6k are white 7k are blue....

 

Mkruley, I assume the sale is still going on? How long do you anticipate it will be continuing for? Gotta wait till next paycheck

 

5k is pure white. 6k is a bluish white but more white. 7k they don't make. 8-10k are blue and get more blue with the higher the number. 12k starts turning purple......

that pics looks like your missing the lil rubber boot that covers the backside of the projector......

 

Guys ive already explained this.. If you did not dremal the back of the reflector to have the bulb bracket sit flush with the projector. Then your bulb is not inserted all the way which is why the lack of light. Takes 30 secs and you can do with with a file if you wanted to. You will notice where the bulb bracket kits. Its the top and bottom of it. Sides clear fine. This is also the reason why the screws dont seem to fit or are not long enough,

 

Yup, I did that, ground it past the threaded washer and bought 3mmx12mm mini screws to hold it in place.

It does still have the black grommet, but theres no where to mount that...

 

Heres a better pic

 

Night pics.

 

If you dremeled that tiny area, you can use the orginal screws.

 

It was close but I got so frusterated with bending the tabs I just went and got new screws..
But its flat against the washer, I have no clue why they are not very bright

 

nikemax... those blue ccfl rings?

 

Unless you're trying to retrofit them in 3rd gens. Wouldn't be hard if you know what you're doing, but for noobs such as myself it's NOT fun.

 

SO did you not sand down the back?

 

No, that changes. That depends on who makes the bulbs, there's no industry standard on that.
That's not what he meant, he meant the return wire insulator color.
Looks like you really need to fix the passenger side rotation. That would drive me nuts





Mike in case you didn't know the retrofit source is working on coming out with an adapter ring that will make these projectors always sit level in every housing, so no rotational adjustment is needed. Just thought I'd give you a heads up for a possible future product. They'll have specific ones for 9007 housings.

 

I did. Dremeled top and bottom. Then bent the tabs to be flat so it can sit flat against the threaded washer.
Its snowing the past two days here in MN so ill try to get a video of my headlights tonight

 

so you were right, came out from work today and saw fogging in my passenger side light (((((((

 

those r the white ccfl rings. camera just made them look "blue", I have to mess with the settings on it.

And Tommy, how would I go about the rotation? I just bought them preinstalled and everything. I do not know much about HIDs.

And silverSS, I have the same issue but both headlights only when snow was against the headlight, without the snow there, there was no fog.

 

You can twist it from the back. and yes tommy i know about the adapters. We are the first to get a shippment

 

Looks good man! You should get some day pics of those CCFL rings.

 

To adjust the rotation, you would simply loosen the locking nut in the back a little, turn it, then tighten in back up. If you take out the light and look at the back you'll see what I mean. It's really easy, it could have shaken loose during shipping. And I take it back, it's the driver side, I think.

 

F*c*ing sickkk

 

I had to tighten mine with a flat head screw driver. It was too loose with the small rubber gasket, had to use the bigger one

 

Here. I know, the car is very dirty from 300 miles through jersey on the turnpikes and crap

 

woooo very nice! I'm thinkin about going CCFL when i get mine.

 

i dremmeled mine down and used a drill on the screws so they went in nice and tight. I'm having much better results now.
