The chrome ones look nice, Shadetree! So you say the gaps look a little bigger than factory? Is it fairly noticeable or just something you noticed putting them in? Anyone else notice this on theirs?

Maybe a little but you just push the headlight in and bolt it down. Once it's bolted down it's not going anywhere. I ended up putting my OEM clips on them by shaving the nubs down a little.

Mine came today. They look great from what I have seen. Going to fully unpack them tonight then put them on the shelf until I can get the rest of my retrofit goodies. Can't wait to get them done!

Check the small red and black wires behind the rubber cap. See below, they should be tapping into the high beam circuit.

the small red and black are going into the bigger red and black. and both high beams are not working

Right on. I can't really see much difference in the gaps on Shadetrees pics. I think they look good! Just wanting to make sure I wasn't missing something like some screwy, uneven gaps. Just got me a set on the way. Thanks again Shadetree43 for the heads up on the $20 coupon. I forgot all about trashing that email last week!

So heres my beam pattern. Something seams way off. I checked the high beam fuse that is ok. I can hear a click and see a slight flicker when I hit high beams but nothing happens. Any suggestions? Email seller? lol

What he said. Check that the shield is in the correct placement based in my pictures posted earlier. If they are not, just try to get it in place from the rear of the projector with screwdriver.

I just want to stress how much nicer the OEM clips are lol. I pulled one out today and laughed at how nice it was compared to the clips that came with them. I just used a razor blade to shave tiny tiny bits of material away and try to fit it, etc.

You get what you pay for. Couple hundred bucks, there is bound to be a few issues.
