Wow! At cost, each Headlight goes for ~$240 (Front lamps , Combination lamps ,Combo lamp assy ,W/hid headlamps)... high beam bulb $42 (regular halogen?) but low beam (HID?) (Front lamps , Combination lamps ,Low beam bulb ,W/hid headlamps) is $247? What gives?

If everyone looks at the links that Milt posted you'd see what the real issue is here... it's not that they're HIDs or even the brand, but rather the type of bulbs that are included in the kit. It looks like Sebas might have the wrong ones - which is causing all his shadow/lighting probs?

What ??? haha Ho yeah, I bought the wrong bulb for fun !!

I bought the same thing as you do Jeff. I just didn't receive the samething though. And I'm not sure if I ask some new ones if I will receive crap again. This is the situation. :-?

My bulbs were purchased through one of the group buys via RDKamikaze, and they seem to match up fine after a little tweeking. i had originaly dremmeled out the back of the headlight holder to make my old D2S bulbs fit, but i had issues getting them to stay in place, so i went with a kit. Since these normal size bulbs were really loose, i simple picked up some of those rubber rings used for garden hoses and spaced out the bulb till it was lined up good. It's not perfect, but that's in partial due to the crap design of the projector. If you want to try and push the bulb in further, move that red ring outa the way and you can push it in farther. Just be carefull to not touch the bulb against anything.

Yeah, you forgot to buy the USA edition HIDs and got stuck with the Canada HIDseh series.

In all honesty, I have noticed nothing but a HUGE increase in my vision with HIDs.
