Yours were sent about the same time as the others that are now receiving them. Yours should be there real soon.
The average delivery time from here is between 2 - 3 weeks.

The two head light buckets. Lights and connectors you'll need to acquire yourself. Websites to order the lights and connectors are listed on pages 1 & 2.

I agree but I am still looking for an even lower profile light I can use. If anyone can find a light that is lower and wider with twin beam H4 bulbs and its own mounting bracket that can be attached to my buckets I will give them the first set of buckets free!!!

i installed my headlites today but i am having fitment issues. I am at work so i don't have time to look through all the other posts so i don't know if anyone else has had the same issue. When looking atthe rear of the light with it assembled, the upper left and right adjusters are scraping the head light doors. Hard enough its scrapped the paint off. Can i run these in far enough that it won't hit anymore but still have a good lite pattern? Reason being its going to be a pain in the ASS to take the adjusters apart and move them to the lower courner.

Screwing the adjusters in will only move the light frame back. It won't change the location of the ends of the screws.

This is a new issue for me to look at. I haven't had this problem myself.

Is it possible your lights are aimed too low and causing the rear of the adjusters to point upwards? I haven't gotten mine in the car yet, but aiming the headlights up more would cause the adjusters to tilt downwards.

I know I don't have that problem, But I'll check out clearences and see if it's close.
Are you sure it's the adjuster and not the side edge of the buckets? I also used the edge molding on the sides as well as the top front edge.
Maybe putting the edge molding on the side may offer a little bit of clearence.

nevermine....i got em to fit. i was s bit hasty in poting the first post. after getting back to the car irelized that turning will only move the lite ot the adjuster . i got em to fit my moving both of the headlite assembly inwards. they still rubbed alil so i jus pushed over on the new buckets till they bent slightly. problem solved.

Orief, where did you get the connector on your harness that plugs into the factory harness?

If you could put me down on the "will buy soon" list, that would be great. I am interested in the dual round mounts. I don't have it all yet, but soon. Those lights look great!

Has anyone found that on the lowbeam light, the upper screw and loop on the light housing is higher than the bucket and consquently the head light lid rests on the light housing and not on the bucket. This seems to put all the tension from the headlight lid on the the lowbeam housing.

MaxQ: I haven't noticed that before. I'll look at it tomorrow and see what is going on.

BobadooFunk: Yes replacement is just a bulb and NOT the whole light like OEM. As for the wiring you just plug in your normal wiring harness. No adapter is needed.

I asked this same question ... but without pictures ... back on February 3 (p. 6 of this thread) and again on February 17 (p. 10):

Timo's answer at that time was, "They fit just fine."

He originally designed the buckets to mount the low beam modules inboard, where clearance is less of an issue, and I think that is probably the source of the problem.

Installed, they need adjustment, and I have to figure out this clearance issue, but they do look good.
