Looks great! The stock HID low beam isn't 6k right?
I am a little concerned about how snuggly the new bulb fits into the housing. That needs to be a pretty tight/secure connection to avoid condensation inside the headlight. Was this just a single occurence? |

mine are jiggly too since I had to trim the tab on the base of the bulb for it to fit in. I crucified my fingers! I received my new wiring bundle yesterday (Thanks Chris) and will be installing them later. I'll post up my reviews/pics when I finish the install...been really busy lately.

If you look closely at the housing. I think there's actually a big gap between ...... it's hard to explain, but factory I don't think it's an air tight environment to begin with. If I'm bored off my ass I'll take a picture of it.......but I probably won't. Single occurence as in just one side? Both sides were loose.

No actually it still stays sealed notiching the plastic just allows the wires to get out without being pinched. The rubber seal that actually creates the seal stays untouched

WOW. Looks so good.
Why do you have a thick ballast for the HIDs? Everyone else has a thin one...

I pressure cleaned the front of the car this weekend. No water seeped in. The rubber seals are tight and the notch is at the rear of the housing.

mine took some waiting to come, but as soon as they turned on, the wait was worth it.

No to be honest things like the RD LED angels get VERY HOT too. A few members including my self have been running the HID angels for over a year now with zero issues
