Several of my friend's bulbs are not snug into their housing. Not sure why.

How do you plan on getting them out if a bulb goes bad? I suppose a good amount of force will break the seal of the glue, but I imgaine it *could* mess it up.

I had the same issue when I instealled mine on Friday. I made spacers for both sides. I had tried screwing the 3 screws on the back of the headlight, but had no success.

i noticed for mine i have to have the car off, turn the hids on then start the car. if i start the car then try to turn them on only one turns on, idk why. try that? if not check your wiring and make sure everything is snug(i put zipties on all the connections to hold them together) but everyone recommends the harness, that could also be your problem, anyways good luck

ill try that 2morow. i also noticed corrosion on my positive battery terminal. could that also cause my hids to flicker for a few seconds then shut off?
