yeah, I know... but it's 1/10th of an inch... how do you make sure you don't go 1/5th of an inch?

Mine were the entire width of the flange off, i just took half of the flange off, gave me much more light and it only took 10 minutes a side.
07-11-2010
so you modded the housing, not the bulb? I think I'm confusing myself.
07-11-2010
The bulb. I ground the flange down so the filiment was further in.
But now that i think of it, I should mod the housing to make up the rest of the difference.
07-11-2010
oh, I thought the bulb was supposed to be closer to the base of the housing as seen here:
and here:
07-11-2010
ah so you have the opposite issue i have.
07-11-2010
guess so. those pics aren't mine, but the bulbs were the same as mine, comparison wise (the fact that I need them to "get shorter")
07-11-2010
so after the fix, did you get hi beams back?
07-11-2010
hells no
i have the HID+ halogen's....
my highs suck major dick
I'm thinking about HID fogs now since i already have H3 fog lights.
07-11-2010
my car came stock with H3 fogs... they used to be brighter than the stock headlights, now they are useless.
07-11-2010
they werent stock... and they failed because the wiring harness couldnt handle them
07-11-2010
mine are stock. The limited edition didn't come with the plain jane 880 white ones. we got cool blue ones with H3 bulbs
07-11-2010
they didn't fail, the HID's overpowered them compared to the **ity stock 9007s.
07-12-2010
I went with single bulb 35w and a 6k. this has a slight tint of blue but you dont really need a high beam when u have lights that bright. i havent even thought about flicking the swictch.

I read in another thread that if you have HIDs, you don't want them on as DRL's. Does anyone know why that would be? Is it just so they don't wear out as fast or is there another reason?
07-16-2010
^^^^
yes. hids bulbs have about 3000-3500 hours in bulb life. Why waste that by having them on at all times? plus i think cars look like ass with headlights on during the day
07-16-2010
Fair enough. Is it hard to do? I want to keep the auto on function, but disable the DRL function.
07-16-2010
pull the fuse and thats it.
07-16-2010
Ha! You're kidding me! I thought I read that you have to pull out some relay and jack with it for it to work. So there is a DRL fuse and seriously that's it? Pull it out and the auto-on feature still works??Originally Posted by Fivefingerdeathpunch

All I did was pull the fuse out and the DRL went off, but know I have to turn the headlight knob at night for the headlights and the dash lights to come on, i dont know if there is a way to keep the auto on feature, but i dont mind turning a knob to get my headlights on.
