Black Projector Headlights Question
These headlights have been around for awhile and i know a few threads have been covered about it. I was thinking of buying them, i know some people have said the light output was bad and some say its abit better then stock. Anyway i was told by a fellow member that because we have to use the old indicator socket from the Original Assembly that the Australian sockets are of a different size of that of the ones being sold, which i think are mainly from Taiwan or something. As he has to use another method to hold his in place. The question is to the people who own these lights, have you had any issues getting the indicator socket/bulb to go into place without having to glue or stick it to hold it there. And generally is there a specific seller people have been buying from? I've noticed some stores sell slightly different looking ones sometimes. Thank you in advance. I know some people don't like the idea of buying these lights. Haha.

the turn signal socket has 3 tabs in some places and 4 tabs in others. I can post more when I'm at my shop on Tuesday and can look at my stock sockets.

Just a fyi on thoese. I bought as set and they looked great and still look ok, but after about 3 months in the texas sun the UV coating on them started to come off and they are not as glossy now. so this k=might happen to you and then again it might not. I do know I will have to go over mine with some polishing compound to get the luster back in them. One the light output with the stock bulbs they came with it was a lot less then the stock headlight assemblies. But since I also bought a HID kit for them (and yes I have them all adjusted right so i not blinding anyone.) they are really nice now.
