"there is something wrong then because my lights are not even close to being that bright... I tried driving up to a wall last night and i dont even see where the beam is pointing at... "


Lol,thats pretty bad.At least you have a sense of humor about this.In reference to adjusting your light,there are 2 bolts you can adjust.Are you adjusting the right one. I have never done it,but,I do remember reading about it in the manual.

nah the dude is cool that helps me at Lexus of Orlando... He said he would personally take a look at it and tell me if I installed them wrong... At first he said they don't go near aftermarket parts, but then I mentioned I tried using the manual to adjust the lights and it was so confusing and not enough informtion..Then he said he would take care of me

Now as for my dash rattles I will ask him what the hell they did because they need my car for 2 days... Atleast I have a loaner

super bright? LOL, hardly, yes probably more reflective with signs, wait until you drive in an more extreme situation and you'll see your headlight useless

also, what we can't figure out is how in the world did you mess up the installation of your bulbs =P
