Default anyone else have problems w/ their projector lamps?

i have the denji projector lamps and for some strange reason the right side low beam is too loose, the bulb doesnt seem to make solid contact w/ the ground and thus flickers on and off sometimes.

i dont know what to do to remedy this, just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

i used to have the same problem,try to adjust the headlight so the clip that holds the bulb in place isn't touching the plastic coer i did this and i never had a problem after,i used to hate it because 99% of time i would turn my headlights on that side wouldn't turn on hope this helps

I have them and they work fine. kinda
The driving beams are actually worse than my stock setup.
What i did was aim the high beam down and now i use that as my driving beam, I don't even use the originally intended driving beams.

for best results read my post above.
I CAN CEE!!!

the highbeams that i use as driving beams use an H1. You cant 30 times better.
The H3 lense is pretty shitty. Sometimes its like its not even on when using the H3, specially in the rain.

I also tried the 9006 (rewired to accept the 9006) in my H3 housing that was originally designed for the driving beam and it was still shitty. Starting to think that the "projector lense" was making the light projected worse.
