    Sweet, i'm definitely going to just paint mine and maybe make a small shield over the solenoid body. I don't think I can disassemble the e55, but i'll find out when I get them.

    Did you get 3 inch projectors? and what is the benefit of getting 55W vs 35W. Does choosing one affect the electrical system?

    Its doesnt affect the electrical system at all. And the 55w is brighter in my opinion

    55w is also said to go through bulbs faster

    Ehh. My lenses are perfectly fine.lol I guess that would be a 1st gen issue due to the lenses being closer to the bulbs. Well even if they go thru bulbs faster there is a 5 yr warranty
