hi good morning, I put my retro's on the other day and they immediately broke
The adjuster screw popped out and the headlight pointed straight at the ground. I fixed it. and got it working but I made sure to post my ordeal in the buyhids.com Retro's Installation help thread.
They arent that bad Matt. I didnt hook up the halo's and they give off amazing lighting. Not looking forward to Bulb changing though, lol. They also sucked donkey ***** at building them for me. THere are FINGERPRINTS on the chrome reflector housing... Oh, and the glue work. Let me tell you about the glue work.
The sealed the headlight using Hot glue stick. then they sealed the back with a rubber grommet and maybe two sticks worth of hot glue stick and it didnt even glue the grommet down, lol.. Very shoddy worksman ship. At least you dont see it I guess. I will use these spare headlights down the road to build morimoto projectors as soon as they fail. When you take my headlights off, it looks like my car is sneezing out spaghetti.
how come? Emissions?

That's awesome Joe!
Sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at their crappy workmans quality.
They're 2 young guys overcharging their services.

oh yes... Agreed. That was me being nice. Truthfully if they didn't get them out to me so quickly I would have bad mouthed them. The glue work was attrocious... To me its another set of headlights... with garbage projectors and garbage HID kit. Its only a matter of time before they go bad Im sure of it.
