Title: 6 o'clock mod.
Post by: Munzz on July 22, 2014, 11:09:17 pm

Hi All,

So 2 months back I fitted a set of Depo projector headlights alongside a 4300k HID kit from HID's direct. All works perfectly and it's really made the front end of my car stand out.

Being a bit of a perfectionist I've noticed that due to the earth strips on each HID bulb there is a long shadow in the beam output.

Reading various forums it seems that this is a common issue and performing the 6 o'clock mod will prevent this issue as the earth strip will be in the 6 o'clock position.

Has anyone tried this or can offer any advice before  I butcher my bulb holders? I will try and get my hands on a dremel, draw on the holder the piece I need to cut out and take it from there.

Any help is appreciated!

This isn't good news to me, I was expecting a quick fix! Maybe i could try the 3oclock mod in that case!
