thats because there are two types of projectors , there are ones that dont have it thats why this projectors are called bi xenon hid projectors , this are made for cars with only one bulb but the other cars that use two or more bulbs on one headlight dont have the solenoid ....

sure , ill take them tomorrow but just for you to know i have changed mi headlights and hid bulbs about 5 times and never got this output , i think this is the best setup you can do if you want to have night visibility...

right now im using 4300k 55w hid bulbs...

this projectors came with two halo rings , the thing is that they have one blue and the other green so i decided to kept only the blue one , i know they dont look that nice on our jeeps couse having a soft blue round light on a squared rough truck doesnt really blends...

Don't know any of the basics, but you should consider building these and selling them to where they are bolt on upgrades. Guys on here would be all over them, or at least I would!

i dont think they come on glass anymore just sealed beams used to come like that , they do them plastics on all vehicle because of the ease of design and for security , so there wont be shattered glass everywhere on a crash, thats what i read!!
