your headlight seal is probably going bad. you should replace it.

Yup. It's the seals. Mine do the same thing. I bought new seals from the dealer and the problem is they are very different from the seals that are on the car now.

Old: rubber like material. Seems hollow and thin

New: more like a thick rubber or foam material. A lot thicker than the old seal.

Problem is, I pushed and pushed and pushed and the seal was too thick compared to the old seal. It just didn't want to go on. I have a picture comparing the two I can try to find.

If anyone knows a trick it would be much appreciated.

Please do. I really want to change these things. Do you have the part number that you have handy?

63128380210 was mentioned. Go look that part number up on ECStuning. There is a picture. It looks like the thick foam one on the right hand side of my picture. NOT easy to install, if possible at all.

63128362446 is for the E39 but it looks more like the original gasket that came with our cars. I wonder if it would fit....

Thanks! I'm actually about to re-do that TV. The Christmas decorations are hiding the wires, but they are there. Also, the 10' LED backlight doesn't go all the way around this 60" TV. It is just at the top and the sides. I have a new 18' to put around the back when I pull it down and install a power outlet and a cable outlet.

Here is a pic of the bedroom with the 10' LED light going all the way around my 42" bedroom TV, this picture doesn't do it justice, you can tell that the living room doesn't have the backlight at the bottom where as the bedroom does. I like the bedroom better, also, no wires exposed in the bedroom. I almost went with blue LED's, but orange just seemed to fit my house better in both rooms.

[JKO_ZHP]

Finally got around to documenting what sillieidiot did for me a few weeks ago.

1) Fixed all of the wiring. According to him, my first installer, who did the Orion V2 install for me as well as the quad retrofit, did a terrible job and shiz was short-circuiting everywhere. The wires even caught fire at one point and he got zapped....:facepalm

2) The inner factory high beams were replaced with Morimoto Mini H1s. The alignment was off back then, and became worse over time. He dug out the mound of glue or whatever it was that covered the base of the projector (?) and was able to re-position and aim them. The cutoff is now flat 180-degrees across the wall/ground when turned on.
-It's pointed low but not to the point where it's not functional. I plan on having it re-wired and coded to turn on when the fog light button is pressed (so delete the projector fog lights).

3) The LED turn signal on the passenger side was dim to the point where it looks like it's not even on. Fixed.

4) Originally, my V2s were wired to only turn on when the car was on (position 3) but now it's on whenever the unlock button is pressed. It fades out on its own or sooner if the lock button is pressed.

5) The ballasts used to be resting all over the place - on the low beam cover, the inner side of the fender underneath the hood, etc. Now it's tucked away underneath so the engine bay looks cleaner & factory.

The inner ring on the passenger side is still buggy and half of one side goes out when driving. All signs point to one other section of wiring that he had left alone (the original handiwork from my previous installer) or the board (?) being the only two possible suspects.

Headlights lens need to be sanded and coated later on....

Real nice. The sound in the garage makes it sound really loud. I assume it's the accoustics.

Actually it's just the color/tone of the pic. Everything looks dreary... it was pouring. Plus, the phone camera is bad. The lights don't look that bad in real life, but good eye. (And yup, already did the angel eyes). BTW, you didn't REALLY think I'd let Ness feel neglected, did you? :)

I was out and about this morning...roads were complete shit. I was sliding through my neighborhood, eventually making it to the main roads and continued further to the interstate, which was even more treacherous with all the semis and huge trucks/SUVs just hauling ass in the powder.
