Re: my brand new headlights
Newer lights have vents on them to prevent steaming up, so they should be ok.

Re: my brand new headlights
when you say nothing can go wrong with fitting, does that mean there is only one way these will fit in? because i would assume that the beam pattern would be knocked out completely?

mine get condensation on the front and the backalexperkins wrote:Newer lights have vents on them to prevent steaming up, so they should be ok.

there is only one way you can fit them... the projector has at its back form of some sort that will fit only in the correct position. just like the lightbulb. you can't put the lightbulb in any other position then the correct one.

Re: my brand new headlights
so in theory you can adjust the beam same as normal! 
Re: my brand new headlights
not only in theory, but also in reality
you can adjust your beam just the way you did before from inside the car for the sensitive part and from under the bonnet roughly. just like before.

Re: my brand new headlights
These look like a very smart solution.
I'd have no worries about opening up headlight. I did it with my old halogen headlights when an adjuster broke inside. It was simple, just a matter of going round the sealant with a hairdryer and a knife. There were no fogging problems with them afterwards
I asked hids4u about them there, they said they have no plans in the short term to sell them, but might look into them in the future

Re: my brand new headlights
one question how do you change the bulbs??? 
Re: my brand new headlights
What are the normal headlights called?
is it possible to get the 'blue and white' look without changing the lights?

Re: my brand new headlights
@whitegtipolo just like the normal bulb. the lightbulb is in the back of the projector and it isn't a problem.
@lillayzee i think you are referring to the halogen ones ...
you can get that effect but not as white as these ones. go to a petrol station or somewhere you can find light bulbs for your car and ask for Phillips Blue-Vision. they are considerably bluer than the normal halogen lights, but not as "ice-blue" as the xenon 6000k.

Your referring to HIDs. You can buy retro-fit kits. and it'll give you this effect. Projector lens' enhance this refraction even further.lillayzee wrote:What are the normal headlights called?![]()
