Which bulbs are you talking about? How are they working? You could always PM one of the people that told you to do it and ask them why.

The headlight low beam I replaced them with 8000k bulbs. Forgot to mention that, but do you know what I'm talking about. If your looking at the bulb there is the glass portion of it and there is some element looking thing that comes off of it. It looks like a peice of hard wire that is insulated. I guess that peice has to be faced down and after I installed it (which was a SOB) I forgot to align it and I was just wondering what are the down falls of of not facing them down. Thats all
