You do not need to take out your headlights. If you take out your bulbs you can see it its just a metal piece that's sort of angled. If you dont know how it looks like, get a camera (phone should work) just aim it in to the hole where the bulb goes and you should be able to see the squirrel finder.

it will look somewhat like this:

I would recommend using latex gloves for this part so you don't get any oil or anything into your lights.
Stick your finger in there and push it down HARD (i hope your fingers arent big, mine just fit in perfectly) but just push until you can't anymore, and put the lights back in and see if there's still glare. I don't see any glare on the drivers side, but the passenger side has a tiny tiny spec of it but it isn't blinding at all. I tried mashing it down some more but it still remains.

Now enjoy!

Thanks for this. Do you think its reversible? I would love to see cutoff pictures

You're welcome, I don't know if it is, if anything you'd need some good skills and tweezers, or probably take apart the headlights to lift them back up. However lifting them up can possibly break it off since it is metal. I will upload a cutoff pic later on today when the sun goes down.

I'm thinking about getting some 3000k in 35w. Anyone else try those yet?

[Plxdjake89]

That's what I currently have on mine, I'd like to try 5k with a 55watt.

Here is the cutoff with the squirrel finders bent down, its not perfect like actual HID projectors, but I looked and stood in different angles and I don't see glare. At least those "UFO's" are gone.



and here is a closer up picture of the cutoff:

Thank you.. I've heard of the squirrel finders and read about it but didn't find real instructions on what to do their then bend it.. I don't have the glare or the blobs.. This will work till I have a weekend to fit my TRS projectors and angel eyes

You're welcome, yeah same I had to look around in this forum on random HID threads to figure this out since I didn't want to mess up my lights.

Just get the bulb and the ballast, but if you are going to get 55w then you will need the HID harness I believe, but you will be just fine without one for 35w. I didn't get the mounting brackets, I just got some mounting tape which works just fine.

Thanks alot, will do exactly that, and by any chance did you buy any LEDs from DDM?

No I didn't, but I am looking for some LED reverse lights and rear plates light, wasn't sure of the bulb type though and not sure what type of brand to go with yet.

[VSJT_10]

you could def check HID powerhouse or LEDwholesalers.com

#1 6k is a white shade of blue and not the other way around, very few things happen to be blue on the road, especially people. Stay in the 4-5k range if you wish to use lights for lighting purposes.

#2 FR-S housing is not known to be good for 35W, 55W is asking for fire.

#3 there is a general HID thread floating around somewhere
