did you try using the stock brackets? thats helps sometimes with the gap. I wired mine up to my fog lights, purple wire. Also I didnt have that big of a gap after I got them in and aimed right.

Yeah, my only option was to use the stock brackets those suckers would not fit at all with the brackets that they came with.

I actually heard from a few people that one of thier halos has blown out. That would suck if it happened since there really is no way of changing the LED without hacking up the housing. At least if you did manage to swap it you could put a brighter LED in there, since the stock one is a little dim.

Are you using the stock brackets on the halo's? They should be fitting, make sure that the headlights are in all the way. Also check to see that the headlights slipped into those tabs near the back.

Well, they should already be aimed because you're using the stock brackets. I simply swapped mine into the stock brackets and never even aimed them, they were perfect.

How easy was it to get at the corners with the headlights out eh? A lot of people try to do them from the bottom of the car, but like you, I did mine when I swapped to halos, much easier!

Now all you need is pictures!
