one of the AE rings are not as bright as the rest. its not a MAJOR issue and its only noticeable if you focus on it, but for the price i paid for my headlights i expect them to not look ghetto, and work properly.

Okay, I've given up. The "updated" aftermarket ballasts quit working for me. It seems my onboard computer is very stubborn and only wants to work with original parts.

Now that I recall I had the same issue with tail lights way back when, and the dealer gave me brand new ones under warrantee since they thought the ones I got (on ebay) were faulty stock ones (SCORE ).

Anyway, back to the topic, I took out the P53s and packaged them back up nicely for the vendor, and re-installed my stock headlights, its a relief that my lowbeams are now working with no issues, its been a while. Ugly amber corners, but that will change soon enough.

The vendor is being great, and will refund my purchase completely upon receipt of the package.

I am in in kahouts with a member here, working on a top secret headlight project. I'm looking forward to the outcome and will send all praises necessary to the deserving individual once finished. ( don't wanna let everyone in on the secret just yet) All i'll say, is that I'll be able to use all original components for the HID.

I still wish I was able to find a way to open the 10/02 headlights..... I hate feeling conquered by something so stupid as a glue. (I may still try other options for opening as they present themselves)

They're Maya, I think the company is out of business now though. I love em, they have the same staggered dimensions as 87's but a huge lip polished lip.
