DDM HID's

I have been looking for the DIY but can't find anything on it. I wanted to see some pictures of how everything gets tucked in after the installation. I installed mine but the tape they provide, doesn't do much because it gets so hot, so it slips off the tape.

I was wondering what other people did to secure everything. Pics would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

headlights. I haven't done the fog lights yet. I did everything. I will put some tape around the whole I made on the cap cover. I don't want any water to get in there. I purchased some Vinyl Electrical tape so I can tape everything in there and a couple of Nylon Cable Ties to secure everything.

The only problem I have is that the headlights don't seem to be leveled. They feel way to low and not even. I'll take pics as soon as I can so you can see what Im talking about.

alright ill wait for the pics, but if anything just try adjusting the bulb. My right fog light shows TOO bright because of the way the bulb is positioned.

Yea I thought about that as well as cleaning the bulb with soft cloth.

on their website, they have a DIY, it talks about how to clean it if you touch it with your fingers. It said to use alcohol wipes.
