LUX Angel Eye Question for Owners

Just installed a pair of LUX Angel Eyes (H8 180's).

When I rotated the bulbs into the "sockets" they didn't feel nearly as tight as the stock bulbs that came out felt.

Twisting the stock bulbs out was very difficult but twisting the new ones in wasn't nearly as tough.

For those of you that have installed, does that sound right?

yes it's not as tight, but im not sure if it's the design or because of the tiny space i had to work with
when i try to uninstall it recently i realized it was very loose and came undone with just a small tug

Should be tight. I had to cut a wire hanger and make two "sticks" to guide the bulb into place and then turn it tight by hand. But when I turned it felt snug

i would say it is normal. maybe take a look at them every once in a while to reassure yourself they didn't back out or become loose.

Yes that is normal. these will not click into place like the stock bulbs, but just hold snug from pressure.
