They were packed very well and nothing is missing. Headlights seem better than on pictures
Just some questions:
- the low beam position lights are the outer one? So I have to install the HID kit there, correct?
- the black led's wires is the ground or the +12V wire?
Any hint for mounting and/or connection?
Thanks

Check out my complete write-up.

I know, it SUCKS, because I dunno what I have to do to fix it... it's the drivers side headlight that's wiggling. I had issues with the stock light
I dunno if you can see it, but the headlight doesn't sit right ever since I got the car...
I know it's been wrecked on the front before. I wanted to know if anyone else had the issue as well... but fowljesse says his are very tight. Meh.

Your frame may be a little out of alignment then? Are there any signs of distortion? Looks pretty minor though, maybe some carefully placed spacers or washers would sort it?

or the black bracket thing(cant think of wat its called) that holds your light up is broken. mines like that too. lookin at the pic the left corner of the lamp is popped out past the bumper, making it not flesh with it huh? if so u gotta replace the piece or glue or something. thats wat i can think of. correct me if im wrong.......

Well, it's not the fault of the projectors if you had the problem before you put them in.
I agree with Marcdh. If you can't fix the car, maybe you could modify the projector bracket.

Last saturday I've installed the new headlights
They're great, but I had a little problem:
the pins of the blue male plug ( connecting the headlight to the original electric plant) are a little different compared to original: they are too much thin and tight..so to have a correct contact I deform the female pins with a little screwdriver.
My car is an US-Spec car, originally with HB9004 lamps and same type of male plug..just like on the new headlight.
Anyone had the same problem?
Anyway the installing wasn't so difficult
Just another little note: the missing point of fixing to the frame in the peak of the headlight (near the 3 leds)..if it was present, the headlight would not be so shaky
Using high beams, the low beams are off, right? I'm thinking to connect the 2 supply wires with a diode from the high beam wire to the low beam wire. So when I use the high beam, I supply both high and low; when I use low beam, the diode don't allow the current to go to the high beam circuit.
What do you think about this?

They're also talking about this on another thread. I'm really looking forward to a write-up, because I want to do it, too.
