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) .

^^naw the passenger side fits near to stock fitment but the driver side doesn't fit at all...the parking light to be exact...the turn signals seem to be the same on both sides just the parking light is completely different...

i called tornactive and he said he'll send me some sockets to fix the problem...hope that'll work...thanks for all your help tho...i appreciate it..

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?

Yeah, it is weird, Some people are havnig problems and some fit great. Kind of sux for us, cause the manufacturer does not have any warranty on these.
"Skillzster" i sent out the other prongs and hopefully they should work.

Hey SkiLLzSter, can I see a pic of the front of the headlights? I'm thinking about getting a pair, but don't know if I want black or gun metal. I know there are pics of it on the site, but I'm hoping the pic you have shows the gun metal a lot better. I'm planning to put the yellow/amber reflective (like how MugenRacerX did his), so I'm leaning towards the black housing. Thanks!

Nah, the pics are fine. It looks good. It pretty much looks black with a hint of gun metal. Thanks man!

Hmm... that's a tough decision. I don't know what to get now. Black/Gun Metal? Or Black? Oh well.
