Bulb position - parthiban - 26-10-2017
Following on from my HID kit thread, it's all fine, except I'm wondering whether I can make it even better by changing the way the bulb sits in the headlight. On speaking to HIDs4u, the wire coming out of the bulb needs to be at the bottom (6 o'clock) so that the covered part of the bulb is at the bottom too for the anti-glare to do the best job.
However, on the IS200, the bulb seems to sit so that the wire comes out at around 4 o'clock and it doesn't appear I can get the bulb in any other way.
Can it be adjusted or is that position fixed?

I did try that but only briefly, it looked like the bulb would only go in one way because the "prongs" are all different sizes..........
Will have to have another go at it just in case.

I presume you'd have to somehow turn the bulb within the holder, because as you say, the holder fits a very specific way around.

DJ Wozza Sounds like this would be a real pain to fit correctly. Shame as it sounded like such a great idea
Yeah need to have another proper look to see if anything can be done but I doubt it - it still does make a big difference but not as good as it could have been.
