advanced autoparts has them for 20/bulb. mine are brand new in box for 70 shipped for all four or 35 shipped for a set. i've never seen them for 20/pair. if anyone wants to try them, hit me up. you'll save a few bucks and help a fellow ceg'er

to make the fit in the lows, some have forced them in. otherwise u can dremel or exacto knife two plastic tabs/ridges to clear the low socket.
zetec, where r your stock bulbs, if u put them in does your problem go away meaning you got a bad set of blues and its not the headlight opening. why not return the bulbs if they r defective. how long has it been since u bought them
