Default Just installed my HIDS

Got a good deal thanks to TypeRP. Took me only a few minutes and I was done. The only problem was that the bulb on the passenger side didn't "lock" in and it is a bit loose. What can I do to make it fit?

Are you on leveled ground? Are you checking the lights at the same place everytime?

Congrats on the HID's! I still want some, but can't find any for a decent price. I remember reading somewhere that you should take off the rubber surrounding on your old bulb and put that around the new bulb. Not sure, but hopefully it works out.

Yay! My first answer that actually helped someone out. Damn, I'm the man. Just joking, glad I could help, and congrats on those damn bright/nice bulbs! Care to lend a helping bulb...or two?

I'm ready to pick up a set of Phillips HID's. Can you fella's please let me know where to go for them? I bought blue coated bulbs, and I can't even see Stop signs until I've blown right through them. Thanks a lot.

dam, I could've used a set of HIDs last night. Went for a late night drive on 133 (OC folks like B2 and EP should know this road) and that street is DARK!! But it was still fun driving thru there w/ high beams and Kumho race tyres

yoshi - who has thoughts about the HIDs know

Hey yosh, the 133 is the one that leads to PCH rite? Well i went driving there when I got my HIDS and it made a HUGE difference overthere because it's so dark. Definitly get some HIDS.

You can order them off of http://groupbuycenter.com/ They have a GB going on right now but the shop that is hosting the GB does not have the D2S bulbs available.
