From what i know, the light being projected is pointed too high which causes drivers coming towards you to be blinded by the light (word to bruce springsteen).

the recall is for 06 projectors only, 03-05 doesnt qualify, but basically the lights are not properly aimed so when you pass other cars its blinding them therefore unsafe....

Follow-up question:

From all the people selling 06 headlights, how do we know the legit ones from the recalled ones? Is there a way to find out?

Thanks

None that I know of. I have a pair of recalled headlights on my '03 (had them about a year now). I aimed mine, and they work flawlessly. The light output is much better than the originals, and I am blinding no one.

That is why they're not allowed to be sold on this forum.

Not Funny, Not funny at all. With an attitude like that, you could kill someone.

This attitude is exactly why I am so adamantly against them, most people are usually too ignorant/selfish/lazy to do things correctly, and end up being one of "those" douchebags on the road
