upside down, effect the visibility produced?:unsure: long story short, i would prefer not to open up my headlights for awhile, unless necessary!
if the bulb is symetrical inside [ same shape all around the filament, with no partial metal shroud/refector inside the globe ] then there should be no difference.
This would be >> near on impossible to do & have the globe sit correctly. The base of the globe would have, if observed, a half circle cut out on one side & a square cutout on the opposite side. Thats the nearest way to describe it. The headlight has matching shapes, so that it can only be fitted correctly, one way. Hope this helps you out. I doubt that you could or would have put them in upside down. Prove me wrong.:LOL::LOL::LOL: Cheers Kerry
No it can be done....by the previous owner of my car. The bulb was wedged in there upside down. You are correct that the bulb does not sit in the 100% correct place, but it is possible to make it stay in there. Took pliers, 45 minutes, and 4cm of skin to get the bastard out.
Re: No it can be done....by the previous owner of my car. heh, well it only took me 15minutes with pliers :LOL: i've now installed both headlights properly, and i even lost 1 of the grounding screws , had to use the screw on the other side :thumbsdown::angry:......:thumbsup: anyways, these phillip H3 globes Crystal Vision are still not as good as i expected, and that's either because my headlights are very dirty (will hopefully clean them on the syd tech day)...or i have too high expectations.:unsure: $100 :thumbsdown:
No they are good globes... and even after pulling my headlights out & cleaning them I was initially quite disappointed. But as you say, I think it had more to do with expectation (ie I was expecting Mack truck hi-beam brightness). In my opinion the low beams are one of the weaker points of the zed. Having said that I just use the foggies whenever I really need light and that solves all the lighting issues. :thumbsup:
