im disappointed silver... its way to easy to just give up on it. besides, dont want HIDS without projectors or eyelids at least. There are like 6-8 tabs you've gotta bend back. After 10 minutes of 250 i gaurantee the glue was soft enough. You must have not been getting all the tabs. Try again man, dont quit. it IS worth it!
