Has anyone done this yet? What problems did you encounter, and any tips or suggestions? Note: I don't want to hear anyone whinge about putting HIDs in! Thanks in advance guys!

Hot glued it in place in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a good design, as long as they are set up properly. I had hid in reflectors and to be honest it was sh*te. They suit projectors great though. I made my own retaining clips out of wire, wasn't too hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
