NWS Alpine Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 What specifically is wrong? Can you post a picture of your car pointed at a large wall about 25-30 feet away. Usually if you have issues the bulb is not seated properly. Also could be that you bought the wrong bulb and the focal point does not match since the projectors are designed for a halogen HIR2 bulb.

wlepse Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 More than likely you have a 9006 bulb and the base is slightly different compared to a 9012. I think I read somewhere here that they had to rotate the bulbs in the housing slightly to get the cut off right. It could be that the tabs being different allows you to turn the bulb a little too far causing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 You may have the bulb upside down as well. This would also give you a funky beam pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12andrews Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Fixed the problem the 9006 tabs had to be cut and twisted around a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
