'Old on a minute - are those HIDS in the reflectors, or the Projectors?

The first pice looks like they're in the reflector, not the projector.

(The round, dark coloured little eye ball thing.)

EDIT: does this R actually have projectors? This could be your problem

"Old man", you have a cheek. I'll have you know I am 24 years old, so not old at all.

I will leave them alone then. Thanks.

The R don't have projectors, only reflectors with a Xenon HID bulb.

HID's really need to be in projectors to be most safe and effective. They're better than ordinary bulbs, but it's not the best to do HID's. Partly the reason why they are not as sharp and focased as they should be!

I know reflector type HID's are good, but better than halogen bulbs, but compared to projector, they have a way to go.

Thanks for your input.

I've been told the angle gear on the S60R's was a recall issue?
