There
are only four Phillips screws that hold one the plastic shield.
|
It
does take a little pull to pop the cover free.
|
Here's
the headlight assembly with the plastic cover removed.
|
Do
NOT remove the silver colored screws. These are for adjusting the
headlights and you don't want to mess with them! Just LOOSEN the
black ones hold the retaining ring around the bulb.
|
Here's
the bottom one. There are three altogether.
|
Rotate
the retaining ring and it just lifts right off and the headlight assembly is
free.
|
I
received two different sets of bulbs. The Blue/Gold and the Xenon Charged.
Oddly enough the yellow looking bulbs are the Blue-Gold with very blue light and
the blue looking ones are the Xenon Charged with a bright white light. Do
NOT touch the bulbs with your fingers!
|
Putting
the bulbs in is simple. Just press the wires together and lift.
|
Touching
the base of the bulb ONLY you can remove it. Getting finger oil on a
halogen bulb is a killer for the bulb.
|
Here
is the one weakness of the kit. The standoffs are not quite tall enough,
at least on my 91. Luckily it's easy to work around the problem.
|
The
standoffs set in these recesses in the housing.
|
I
used some thermal insulation tape because it was laying around, but piece of
duct tape would work fine. This area is invisible, so don't worry about
looks, just build up enough thickness so that the light doesn't wobble when the
retaining ring is installed.
|
Here's
a shot of the assembly ready to go back together. Maybe somebody should
clean in there...hmm... ;-P
|
Now's
a good time to clean up those covers before reinstalling them.
|
The Blue/Gold bulbs are much brighter than this pic shows (I used flash) but
this shows that they are BLUE. I mean BLUE! If you are looking
for distinctly blue colored lights than these fit the bill.
They are also quite a bit brighter than stock.
|
The
Xenon-Charged are WHITE. I mean WHITE! These things are awesome. I
can't believe how yellow and dingy my stock bulbs were. I can see! I
can see! Even better I haven't had anyone flash me as if I have
highbeams on, so they must not be bothering anyone. Very nice.
I'd buy these if I were you. From the very nice people that sponsored me a
set at www.eurolights.com
This shameless plug will be inserted for anyone that sponsors Hakuna! (Well if I
like it anyhow...I can't be bought...well...maybe with a set of leather seat
covers I can be bought...hehe.)
