how long have you had it on for? and do you projectors act as your highbeam?

Oh no ! Not Eagle-Eyes . I bought a set for a friend and those bulbs are junk. Had to return it three times because the bulbs keep burning out and it was the 5,500K that we bought and it was a green/yellow color. Horrible brand.

Nope, no fix. Thats just how its made. I ordered 5,500K which was suppose to be pure white. So after I return that and complain about the green color I requested for a pair of 8,000, thought maybe it will balance out to pure white. But no, wrong its still green with a hint of blue.

I suggest you return it for a money back if possible before its too late. get phillip ulternons-however you spell it, which is rated 6,000k. Its more expensive but its worth it.

If you're just chaning the bulbs, you don't have to take off the bumper. Just turn your wheels in, and remove the clips holding the fender liner. I jacked my car up a few inches to lower the wheel a few inches for extra room, but that was mostly because I didn't have a short screwdriver to remove the top 2 screws.

As for the highbeams. The 06 projectors are called bi-xenon which means high and low beams. The fogs are fogs only now. Much better design than the previous model years.

These off-brand HID bulbs are not gonna be perfect. I got some from HIDking.com about a year and a half ago, and they still work fine but one is bluer than the other but from a distance they look about the same. I'd suggest spending an extra dollar and getting some Phillips or Osram bulbs, the ultinons are 6k and they look great.

Philips/Osram hands down the best in my book. I would scrap that crap you got now and get some Ultinons so you can avoid the upcoming headaches.

you have to do some changes to the 04 lights i think make a notch on one side and take of the black coating on the bulb. it has been done but not recommended, plus with does projectors you might as well get 6000K or 8000K bulbs to have that white/blue beam.

^^ yup, you're going to have to off the black/brown strip from the D2R bulb and also somehow take off a notch from the base. not something anybody can achieve. if you're willing to try it, you've been warned lol
