Default Black out headlights and projectors

Finally i got my headlights painted and installed the Morimoto projectors, I though is gonna be easy but **** no. Painting the lights not a problem, but installing the projectors what a pain in the neck, no instructions, just basic explanations, after installed the projectors and seal the headlights, i found out the morimoto sits far to the back, so you can almost see the projector. They are bi-xenon, but didn't connected that way because one of them when you put the high beams got stock every time so I have to hit the headlight in order to go back to low beam position, too bad because is a lot of work to take it out and send it back for replacement. Going to test those lights tonight to see if there's any different , more light or what. I got some pics , what you guys think?

Man thats a lot of work!!! Bi-Xenon!!?!?! I just did HID low beams with led parking lights. I hope you get it working properly. If so, you might as well paint your high beam reflector black too.

Word of advice to anyone doing a headlight retrofit. The MM H1 is a great little projector. It will fit most applications with minimum modifications. Before installation you MUST disassemble these units and smooth the rough edges around the "cutoff shields". Then lubricate area with graphite spray.
I did a retrofit on my previous vehicle, and never had a problem. You will love your new illumination.
