    I haven't heard of this mod. But I wouldn't do this mod since these aren't dual filament halogen bulbs which sounds like the mod is meant for.

    I really like the industrial velcro tape to help with the ballasts

    There's no light posts on my street, and that's just the new fog lights

    Check your ground on that side and make sure it's on the body frame or to the battery. Sounds like a loose or weak ground. Let me know if that fixes the problem.

    Installed today. Took maybe 30 mins tops and that was hiding all the wires for a clean install

    Got mine in. Looked like the little black shield piece adjacent to the bulb itself was a little bent on one of the bulbs, but doesn't appear to be a problem with the light pattern or function. Easy-peasy install. Toughest part was getting the boots on and then trying to clip the light into place with the metal cage without catching the boots. glad to have picked these up.


    A question - after reviewing the install thread, did everybody end up aiming their headlights down after the install? I can't tell if it's needed or not.

    Mist of the time after install you do not need to adjust your aim. Drive around and see if your beam is too high or too low and adjust if needed. Post pics :)

    Only time I've been flashed was because I had my Rigid D2's on while on a back road and forgot to turn them off when a car was coming the other direction. My fault. I've yet to be flashed because of the headlights and left them at the factory setting.

    Rigid D2's

    I installed my H4 kit this past Saturday. Plug 'n' play - no problems. Finding locations to mount the ballasts & relay took the most time. I didn't need to adjust my headlights afterwards.

    One question though, there were two black 'L' shaped brackets in my kit. I did not see where they were supposed to go. Did I miss something?
