no need
just get other Hid Bulbs which is less then 7000K
i install my Euro with 6000k and is so much better then normal Bulbs

ask your supplier if they can swap to a Lower K light range

The lack of HID washers on the fornt bumper is an easy give away ;)

Easy, Lux HIDs are a little yellowish, I suspect 5000k... while base model owners usually go for pure white at 6000k or even more blue!

like nearly every other oem set up, 4300k

ok i just tried to flip my bulb the other way around, but it's not going to happen...

i think it's more the euro headlight than the HID kit that is preventing me from having the wire on the bulb on the bottom...

below is my ghetto drawing to explain why....

as you can see the shape of the hole where you put your bulb into...the bulb width of the HID bulb JUST fits into that bottom part of the hole, so there's no way it will fit if you flip it....

other standard model euro owners with HIDs....do YOU have the wire on top as well??

That's not the way to do things. First he has to find out why is he getting a shadow on the bottom when that back electrode is on the top!

lol i aint drilling no hole in my headlight...just to flip the bulb...:P

but yeh, i can only guess that shadow is from the black wire...

but i don't see why there would be a difference if the black wire was on the bottom??? someone care to explain? :)
