Did you fit through the covers on the back of the headlight unit?

You must only fit them into projector type units. If you fit them into a reflector headlamp you deserve a swift and very violent kick in the bollocks.

I had them years ago in a mk1 focus and they were shit. Bright, but light scattered all over the place and was always getting flashed. Got a kit now in my mondeo with projector lamps and they are brilliant, just as good as my old ST with factory hids.

+2, they can be dangerous if not in projector headlights, all your achieving is dazzling other road users.
