Well I'm actually having issues with the projectors I bought. AM is already sending me another set but I did some research and notice a few other people have had the same issue. The bulb connection inside the housing on the passenger side melted and the passenger side no longer works. I read another person has the same set and both of there lights melted. I'll check the driver side when I get home. Kinda pissed I have to take it all apart again to get them replaced but thats the price I pay I guess going the cheap route.

Sorry to hear about your lights,
Do you have any idea why they may have melted? Do you think if you had hid's it wouldve made a difference? ive gotta look into lights and electrical cause i dont know crap about any of it! Makes me wanna hold off on buying the lights until they get them up to standard

These were just normal blue halogen bulbs by raxiom. If i had to guess the ground was loose and the equipment had no type of grease at the fittings, so the new set that AM is sending I will take apart, add a different set of bulbs and add electronic grease to all the connections. Don't worry ill post pics of what i do. I also found a temporary emblem for the grill.

Me too, but then i googled raxiom projectors melting and found three others with the same issues. Hopefully i just got a bad set. The part that melted i never touched or messed with so it was a product flaw and not a mistake on my part.
