Just installed my projector headlights..Monte SS
Just finished installing them probably half an hour ago..
Installation was very easy...Took probably 40-45 minutes..took my time though...
Only thing that was a little confusing at first was how to splice the angel eye ballast into the wiring..Just had to really look at it for a minute to understand though..I'll try to get pictures of how I did it.
Overall I am pleased with them. Fit and finish is excellent..Well for the driver side light..The passenger side light weather stripping was a little messed up when I got it, but I manipulated it into place.
HID install will be tomorrow. I ordered 6000k 35w HID for the low beams, shipped via USPS...Today My sister parked her malibu about 4 feet behind the mailbox...Lazy *** **** postal worker pulled up..Looked at the mailbox..and just ******* left..I guess it was too hard for them to get out and walk it to the door...Or even the 2 feet to the mailbox..
edited out my little rant..lol I just filed a complain on the postal worker with USPS and the post office...
mother ****** !
sorry for the rant haha

I ordered em from dashzracing.com on late night of the 12th..Got em today the 19th, and they were shipped via UPS, No complaints here...Took two days to process the order, but they were having website problems, and it was down for a while, not their fault..I called the owner, and he said it would be out the next day, and apologized. Good customer service, I would recommend them. Even with the problem, still got here in 6 days, can't complain about that at all.

Havent adjusted yet..But I did play around with them for a little bit...They are very loose, but from what it looks like it should still hold the adjustments.

I suggest that, before you install your HIDs, you make sure both adjustors work and actually adjust the headlamps. That way, if one or both of them are bad, you'll be able to get it exchanged before you've modded them.

I just ordered some Anzo headlights from autoanything. These come with a year warranty hopefully they will be better than the ebay stuff.
List was $405 I have a coupon code for 15% off and if you have a Bing account you get another 12% back so I paid a little over $300 with free shipping.

I have 2 of the inverters on order too...Total was 16.50 including priority shipping..They're only 4.50..Cheap enough to have a few of them laying around the house just incase, lol.

I was as well. The only reason I "bad mouth" them is because they are of cheap quality, the parts either dont work (adj hardware) or just flat out fail after sometime (actual halos/inverters). I could not justify paying $300 for them, because I payed less when I first bought them and they shipped me another set because the original set **** the bed.
I've run through this countless other times, but the H3C projector isn't even a headlight spec projector as far as size and light output. It's a FOGLIGHT guys...do you want to be driving with FOGLIGHT projectors as your main source of light? You are better off putting those funds towards a projector retrofit with a 90mm projector or just putting a $35 DDM HID kit in your lows and another $35 DDM HID kit in your fogs...better lighting for less money.
