anyone has this problem with projectors???


when i first got my projectors installed, i did not have parking bulbs to relace the stock ones. eventually i did. yesterday, when i was going to replace them with hiper white, i noticed that one of them had fallen off. the bulb was still there, it was just hanging coz it wasn't locked in. so i replaced it with hyper white and i found out that there's no lock for the bulbs on both sides. i don't know if it's just me, but the bulb does not seem to have a lock that would keep it in place. now my left ones is hanging again and i have to put it back on. it looks like i don't have a parking bulb on one side. any tips? i hope i made sense.

mine didnt lock either, but inside the whole there is a space between 2 layers of plastic sorta like | |, on your light there should be a rubber washer. you have to roll it up the light about 3/4 of the way and then slide it in the whole it should get stuck in between the 2 layers of plastic. hope it works[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Mine didn't even have the rubber washer. I used electrical tape to hold the bulb in place.

You can trying making a ring with electrical tape and wrap it around like its a washer. it will get stuck and hold the bulb in. Thats what I did with mine. No problems yet.

I used some hot glue on mine, it worked great, you could also use silly putty or something like that, maybe some caulk too...

What cheap a$$ projectors do you guys have. They came without clips to hold the bulbs in?
