tyc projector ?
i just installed my tyc projectors and noticed little "dots" were the low beam projection is. is this normal or is there moisture in there? also, i got new hyperwhites, 12v 55w, to replace the H1's that came with the projectors, but could not put them in because 1 bulb wouldn't come out of the socket. does anyone know what i can do to take it out?

For the little dots on your low beam projectors might be water spots or something. You would probably have to take off the headlight cover to white them off. The actually len to the projector. Now taking out the H1 buld shouldnt be hard. There is a little metal locking mechinism that you just push down on and pull out . The bulb should then be free. Not hard.
Yeah, I had the same problem - just use a pair of needle-nosed pliers and loosen the bulb from the connector. It's hard to explain, but there's a little piece of the connector that hits a hole on the bulb and locks it in place. If you loosen that from the bulb, it should come free. THen when you put in the new bulb, you might wanna tighten it again so the bulb doesn't come loose and either go dim or turn off completely - this happened to me already, so just a warning ...

I got little dots to but its not moisture because my projectors don't fog up
and one time I thought it was moisture which it wasn't and I took them off and blow dryed them for like 10 minutes and low and behold those dots were still their
but it COULD be moisture just go drive the car on a cold day for like 5mins and see if moisture develops inside the projectors and if it does then yep its moisture
but IMO if your projectors never fogged before then its not moisture because I got the same problem as you do[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
