ok, thats a lot like my kit looked like...
BUT...i dont know if anyone else is having the problems i am..its a bulb manufacturer's defect i've found...on the Bi-Xenon bulbs, when you switch to hi beam, the electromagnet sucks the bulb in, but as it does, the ceramic filament rubs against the bulb housing causing a slight delay in current, causing the bulb to throw a lamp out code, and when going from HI to LOW beam, it will flicker off for about (1) second then come back on (this is only my passenger headlamp). I dont have any pictures, but hopefully i am making sense. Anyone else have any issues like this?
