You've got me wondering now...I upgraded to night breakers HB3's on Saturday, and have noticed the N/S pavement gets significantly more light than the O/S, especially higher up.

Before I fit mine, can those in 'the know' explain exactly what the seating problem is?

I think it may be that with the old H4 dual filament bulbs there were three locating lugs and you couldnt physically fit them 'wrong' but with the H7's if you are the ham fisted type, it is easily achievable! Just give them a good wiggle to check they are seated before fitting the retaining clip. |

The HB3's also have three lugs that you quarter twist to fit. I think the problems some have had is replacing the whole light unit back into its space. There are two 'tracks' that guide the unit, and its easy to think its properly re-seated when in fact one side is just out.
