what kind of class would I need to take at a community college to learn how to weld, install LEDs, know what to put between the voltages, and know what heat shrinking is ? Amazing setup btw!

yea, the ignitors exposed because the cap is not deep enough to cover the ignitor too. The only way i saw to get around was to drill a hole to fit the ignitor thru. i didn't wash the car last weekend cus i got lazy. i'll wash on sat. and see. i think it should hold up pretty well. the cap is on pretty snug. the back side of the ignitor is pressing pretty hard on the cap and i think that should form a nice seal there.

why dont you just seal it up because you shouldnt have to make any adjustments at least for 2 years right? the way im gonna do mine is a 3 inch shrink with heat resistant silicone

If you seal it up, there's no way to change the light bulb.

the hid light bulb has at least 10,000 hours of operation which roughly puts it at at least 8 years before it needs to be changed . can you now see my point.. unless you drive at night for 4 hours or more every single day it makes sense to seal it or cut the existing rear 9006 housing out and extend the rear and make the cut out the cap with grooves you need.
