My HID's have been fitted for quite a while now, but when i fitted them one light is more blue than the other.

It looks like one is blue and one is white. I was told this was cause by me fitting on side and trying it, then fitting the other.

How can i fix this problem? Would new bulbs sort it?

Also what sidelights do people buy when they have HID's?

Thanks, Ross

do these just fit as a stright replacement kyle?

Yes they just push in, bit tight though so you have to be gentle, only push the plastic casing not the LED part and they only work one way so would advise testing them before putting it all back together :cartman: as i found out.

Do admit they look bit blue but they match 6000k perfect, I have 6000k and are pretty much identical

Do the old sidelights just pull out of the chrome bit?

sort of

you have to try and wiggle it out, tilt it down one side and pull a bit then tilt the other way and pull a bit until it comes free

careful not to brake the clip or lose the bulb in the headlight

best to remove the headlight but can be done without removing the headlight.

I have got sidelights but i just can't get the standard ones out! lol

Do they def just pull out of the chrome bit? They seem solid?

Yeh they will seem solid then do need a good wiggle to get them out, best to remove the ligth and ge to screw drivers to leaver it out. Be gentle with them though lol
