Hi, any help/suggestions will be appreciated...



Anyways, I decided to get these lights from procarparts, partly from the enthuastic responses from this forum. WHen i got my lights i was eagerly ready to put them on and see if i noticed a difference between them and my stock ones. Well i have, but that doesn't mean it was better...



When it gets later i can put a pic up to show what i mean, but here's my problems...



The light output is actually weaker than my old stock headlights. (The lights are whiter, but i can only see close distances and not farther away)

THis could due to a # of factors, however, i noticed that the only way my bulbs can go in to the headlight is if the headlight is reversed. For ex) the "hole" where the optional bulb could go in is around the 12 o clock (top) postion rather than where it suppose to be (arround the 6 oclock position) (below the H4 bulb)



The mechanic that i took the lights to thinks that headlight itself (not the bulb) could be defective, just thought i get a 2nd opinion from any of u that has these lights on ur rx7.



Any suggestions on how to get my lights like the above 2 pics would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

park it in front of a wall at night and see where the beam reflects. that way youll know for sure if it is the position of the headlight housing or not for sure. other than that, maybe your bulb itself is different from the ones above.
