As you may know I bought a set of black projector h/lamps of Mickhoon last week - thanks for a top deal Mick
The quality seems ok, but i do have a couple of observations for those of you who might get these lamps.
The sidelight bulb (the 5w wedge) is accessed through a rubber grommet in the base of the lamp unit and this means that you will have to remove the lamp to change the bulb. Not the end of the world, but not as convenient as standard.
On one of the lamps I found that the captive threaded part that mounting bolts screw into were being drawn out when I was tightening the bolts. I countered this by placing a washer between the headlight body and the car, which meant that the threaded piece couldn't be drawn through towards the bolt head (did that make sense?). I think there were maybe meant to be washers like that there as standard, but there wasn't anything there on mine.
The lamps come with manual height adjusters but my car had the motorised ones on the standard lamps. Swapping the motors over to the new lamps was very simple and that all seems to work ok.
I fitted HIDs to the dip beam at the same time (cos Mick threw them in FOC) and that was a lot easier than I imagined. I'm very happy with the light output and the beam pattern looks ok.
Anyhoo, pics as promised - from my phone so not best quality.
