SupraJames Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 It it due to the MR2 only having 1 headlight unlike the Supra which has 2 bulbs (1 dipped, 1 main).I have fitted kits like that before to single light cars (was a swift), that is a hi/lo HID bulb, the big black lump on the back controls bulb angle. When you switch to main beam the bulb is angled up. Dont remove the metal bulb cover, when fitted if i remember that metal cover will be at the top of the bulb. Its on there for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 That chunk at the back will be the part that controls the hi/lo I guess? As far as I'm aware hi/low HID bulbs move the filament up or down inside the glass bit to change the brightness, the plastic but probably contains some kind of mechanism to do this. Leave the metal bit on the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
