I didn't want to go with the DOT approved lights as I know they won't be as bright. So far it has been a year and no one has flashed at me yet, so I assume my lights are adjusted correctly.Originally Posted by MessyHonda

same here mine went in without a prob
My autopals seem a little loose and they bounce around a little in the cars housings. Seems like they should have made them just a little thicker. It was the same with my hatchback.
Odd, my Hella's don't do that.

yeah your car was never in a front end crash like mine was....i can tell the body shop replaced the pop up light with an aftermarket one because its black while the other side is original with the gold paint....one light would aim higher than the other one...but i inflated my tires to the right psi and parked on a leveled spot and started adjusting them from my point of view...and they turned out good

I dont think they made aftermarket crash parts pop ups housings, you should know there are adjustments on those mechanisms AND of course they are going to be black, do you know how big a PITA it would be for them to stock exterior paint items like those? are the door handles even available in exterior color codes? those maybe some colors Im not sure.
Sounds more like the body shop did not trim out the parts before they put it in and then failed to adjust the headlight door mechanism or possibley have the wrong screws in the bezel keeping it from moving right.
yes door handles are avail on majestic in stock colors
you can kinda see how it has black part...and on my other side im sure its stock colored

random my DX ones are black... and most cars i seen are black on that part =/ my lxis wernt cuz the front was repainted
damn, what happened to people making them? I'll see if I can get a pic of mine up tonight. All you need is a couple hours, a razor knife, crystal clear silicone, a small piece of 1/8" plexi, and a sheet of drop ceiling light diffuser. ...and a whole lot of patience.

do a write up i dont think one was ever made
I'd be happy to as soon as (which will not be anytime soon unfortunately) I have some time and get the ambition to make another set.
-Mark D.
lol
well if you make them ill buy them so you have a buyer
even though i have pcp clear corners now ill save them just in case
that's pretty bold considering you don't even know what they look like, but I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I do get off my arse to make a set.

ive seen a set or 2 if there anything like the homemade ones ive seen then its worth it
its the same company.. Osram is the international brand name and Sylvania is the US brand name. likely no difference at all except you're paying for imported stuff lol
