Joker... yeah they make some good stuff.

Update:

No way I give up that easy on HID. Remember I know the routine... custom don't bolt on.

I seem to get decent response time with emails.

My complaignt. I asked them before I purchased anything. To ensure these 880 bulbs would fit my HD passing lamps. But now that they don't, they won't exchange them for a different bulb so that I can use it in a different lamp/lens. GHEY!

However, at least replacement bulbs are only $15. Maybe they'll cut me a break on S&H.

I have found others that have done HIDs in aftermarket lenses. The aftermarkets, Adjure brand ($80), uses a H3 bulb not a 880/881. The HID company tells me the H3 bulb is 1.5" from base to tip. I measured the 880 at 1.85" The stock HD lens interior depth to coincide with the base tip length is 1.75". That is the 0.10" shortness that the 880 hid won't fit. If the aftermarket lens carriers the same interior depth the H3 (1.5") will fit no problems!!

Waiting to hear back from Adjure to get more info on their lens depth.

My brother in law wants to hack the stock HD lens. However, I think I would rather buy a new lens, perhaps sell the stock lens to recoup costs. Versus hacking it, possibly not working and still being out $80 for new lenses.

Well finally spoke to somebody. Then foind out this guy only been there for 2 days. Got his super. He ok'ed the exchange. Found out new guy wasn't giving it cause I was at 40 days past purchase and they have a 30 day policy. He over rode tt. Simply told them it was from xmas and I simply just got to it. Reminded him its 10* out here not 70* and sunny like cali!

So he sent me a rma and I will be swappin them for the H3 bulbs.

Now I just need to order the proper adjure lamp and it will all go together.

Also found out u can't cut or splice the wires to the bulb. NO WAY. NO HOW! So the chrome bucket is gg to need "modification".
