Re: yeah...the main headlight is separate from the side turn signals.
ok so that is a 2 piece headlight.
On the 98 you had a 2 piece headlight that was a non projecotr housing.
Are you saying you got the 2 piece Halogen set , like the kind from LLTEK?
What bulbs are you using? It should be no dimmer than the oem 2 piece you had with the H7's

Re: Headlight problems
I bought the 2-piece headlights from a local re-seller...they are the real IN-PRO units straight from Germany (no english on the box or instructions)...
Anyway, they are much brighter than the old-school headlights (esp. with the Philips Vision Plus bulbs). But, they were aimed all the way down, so i could only see 6 feet in front of me. I used the Aiming guide at Daniel Stern Lighting (http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/aim/aim.html) to get the aiming almost perfect. I am very pleased with my e-codes, but im still going to upgrade to HID eventually.
