did you get the right headlights for your car... i.e. do you have a coupe, and did you get the coupe lights or sedan headlights

The lights you got is for the sedan, I did the same thing but to get them to stay in I got a friend to hold it in place while I sealed it with silicone it held the bulb in place until i got better headlights

So wait, the sockets between the sedan and coupe headlights are different?

SkiLLzSter, I hope you get that straightened out with Tornactive. It's kind of odd that they gave you two different headlights (one for sedan and one for coupe) .

Oh okay. I see. Hope all goes well.

Can't wait to see how it looks on your car. I was thinking about buying those as well.

Ohhhh. Yah, I see what you mean.

So I'm guessing you can replace the socket, since Tornactive is sending you some?
