well . the stock bulb and the projector bulb are entirely different bulbs, as you can already see that yourself, so the stock bulbs will not fit in the projector . but i am guessing that it is probably something wrong with your projector bulb or that you are not getting a connection somewhere between the bulb and the socket . make sure the projector bulb is connected and making contact where that clear rubber covering is at and i think that you need to make sure that the paper clip looking thing is clamped down on the projector bulb when it is installed . hope that helps you out .

hey, i got projectors in my ride too, and sometimes the connection is faulty. it might just be the wiring. All i do is mess with the wires a little(the wires that connect into the back of the housing). hopefully this helps. good luck

i'd return those ASAP! your worried about the bulb not working, not to mention when the headlight bulbs DO work, you'll have crappy light output and light pattern.

Those projectors have the shittiest output.... I got mine and within a month one of them went out.. i fiddled with it for 3 days before i finally got pissed and hit it with my fist. After i hit it the light flickered on and i realized that the ground was bad.... so i re-did all the power and ground wires and now they work fine with shitty light output. I've been scheming up ways to get a brighter bulb in there or something without retrofitting them... any ideas?

either the bulb or the harness

disconnect the bulb and test it on your battery directly. if it lights then its your harness
