Thanks man. Seems like a simple step but I didn't think to use that connector as the wires appeared to be too short to reach across the light.

Now I have DRL again. No more ticket worries.

You are not making it easy to stop messing with the car.

@TennisHsu what bulbs are those 5k? 6k?

Mr.Jay · 10-23-2012, 09:08 PM

Can anyone take a close up of their headlight?

I have mine pulled apart right now and I find the new H1 are tiny for the size hole there is.

I can clearly see into the headlight and see the wiring behind it all

That's actually normal.

Mr.Jay · 10-23-2012, 09:36 PM

Is it? LOL I just wasted and hour and a half of sunlight! Noo its going to dark by the time I'm done.

This is actually a good picture making the gap look a lot lessen

Jidonsu · 10-23-2012, 09:39 PM

Did you tighten the bolts that mount the lens to the bracket all the way? They're pretty hard to turn with one hand.

Mr.Jay · 10-23-2012, 09:45 PM

the 4 screws that hold the projector to the basket onto the custom bracket?

With the nut washers right? I did. Its not a bad fit but it clearly doesnt cover the whole area like the original ones did (since they actually have another black piece that sticks out

This is one of my gripes with the projectors, but Im living with it for now.

Mr.Jay · 10-23-2012, 09:53 PM

okay so I'm good to put them in then. I was thinking of making a cover but I won't have time oh well I plan to tear the lights apart again some time next summer

ninjasaurusrex · 10-24-2012, 11:57 AM
