I did but had to go out with wife. The headlights by design have four bolts with room for adjustment. You have to play with the placement first then with adjustment screws. Will work on that tomorrow.

Thats correct. I actually have an extra set of lenses for that though.

Good deal!
Did yours come pretty well adjusted, or did you have to adjust before you drove them?

honestly, the halogen's left a little residue/marks behind, basically like an outline. I started there and moved the lights from that point.

I am saving up for a set! Since they are going from halogen to HID are there any bulb out errors or random flashing of the lights when the headlights are off?

In some cases for MINIs, a bulb out warning will occur after about 30 minutes of driving. It is said that to get it off, all you have to do is flash your brights for a couple seconds. BFC is looking for a fix for this now. Not too big of a deal though!

When your lights are off, there is no bulb out warning, flashing of the highbeams does temporarily fix, something like R&B states BFC and JB are working through to fix....no flicker etc etc when lights are off....

Of course you wouldn't...

I'm starting to think of excuses as I type this...

Did UPS leave your box at the house w/o a signature or did you have to pick it up somewhere?
