yeah, when it flashes, it's lighting the bulb.

you should adjust them not straight out like the oem ones, but down a bit, so that you don't blind everyone. it should hit the ground 20-25 feet in front of the car....... thats how mine is and all the street signs on the side and even on the stoplight poles still light up....... and you get flashed less.

:thumbsup:
 
k, so they're misaimed, your friends told you that. so aim them.

don't aim them on the floor, aim them on a level wall or door 20 feet away.

does the spw kit just plug into the factory harness? if so, unless you want to replace your factory harness down the line, you shouldn't have put it in without one. (IMHO) you need a power lead off the battery, or another spot, an inline fuse going to the ballast power to ignite the bulb. then you need a ground going from the ballast to a barespot on the body ( you can reuse factory grounds )
 
yes it comes with the kit, you put that template on there and cut it out, pretty simple. it's aluminium flashing, a step above aluminium foil, but a step below anything you'd use to weld with.

the bulb fits in the socket perfectly, but ANY aftermarket bulb will not have the stock X on the base of the bulb. anyone that says they didn't need this piece, either stuffed something else in there to keep pressure tight on the bulb, or has a bulb thats bouncing around in the headlight housing :shakehea:

it's simple. :thumbsup:
 
think of it this way. it's like putting your wheel on, but not fastening any of the lugs.......yeah, it's gonna stay on there, but it's gonna bump and wobble like hell.... the bulb fits in perfect, there needs to be force on the back of it, keeping it solid against the headlight housing. hell, you can wad up old newspapers and stuff them behind there, i wouldn't reccommend it, but you can, you just have to keep pressure on the bulb. otherwise it will bounce around, and MIGHT come out.

if they replace the $150 bulb, for you not doing this. they're foolish. ( aka, they're gonna tell you TS)
 
look at the bulb from the outside, like stand in front of your car, and look at it. are the bulbs sitting the exact same way with the bulb pointing the exact same direction? as we've said, the flashing is what keeps pressure against the bulb, making it stay inside the grove on the housing. i get a feeling your bulb is falling out.
