If it's still functional, remove it, dry the interior carefull with a heat gun and apply a silicon clear sealant around the headlight-- where the black and clear plastic meet. Put everything back together.
I just replaced mine with the TYC ones from rockauto.
The quality of the injection molding on the backs is obviously a little different from the originals, but the optics are at least good. Overall I'm pretty happy with them
I installed my DEPO headlights & they made a world of difference in terms of aesthetic. I’m not too sure about how the light intensity is from the projectors but I could just need an alignment…
I just replaced both of my assemblies with Hella's from FCP. cost me about $260 for both housings and they came with all the bulbs. just make sure all of the bulbs are installed properly. one of my projector beams was not snapped in all the way so the cut-off didnt looks right. Just had to re-seat the bulb.
As GTI's indicated (and he must have known I'd jump in ), that beam pattern is perfectly normal for OEM Mk5 halogen reflector headlights.
Morimotos are designed to have that pattern. It's least blinding to oncoming traffic with higher output from both sides. Excellent quality in my experience.
So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.
Depo are usually shit.
the new jeep gladiators are the worst, its high enough to light up the whole inside of your car from behind and blinding.
I drive a Mazda2. The sheer joy of having those big "trucks" behind me at night is amazing. I need sunglasses at 8pm because those fuckers are brighter than the sun. Cop it in the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.
