I am looking for reassurance as I installed my new H4's last night and it all seemed a little too easy. Removing the sugarscoops was infinitely more difficult than reinstalling the new assemblies. For reference, in the past I've had to remove the sugar scoops for various reasons and it's always been difficult to get the aluminium ring back into place securely and to then get the bottom screw threaded. On my drivers side I had to go without a seal around the bucket because I couldn't get the sugar scoop on there if the seal was present.
That being said, imagine my surprise when I received my new H4's along with the prerequisite seal and they seated perfectly the first try. I started on the passenger side and literally starred at the empty bucket in shock when I realized that my new $200 investment was only held in the cavity by the smallest of lips at the top and the one screw at the bottom! At least the bulb assembly I removed was bolted into place with four stout screws...not 12 seconds later the whole new assembly was installed. Yikes. I banged on it with my fist ~lightly~ a few times just to see, but it sure
seemed secure. Thinking this must be a case of beginner luck, I moved over to the driver's side of the car. 3 minutes later I was finished.
Could it be that easy? Considering that the roads that I drive on daily are in such poor repair that my windshield wipers are constantly activated by fissures on the 5 freeway, how long before one of my new $200 investments comes leaping out of the bucket? As secure as they
seem, anyone have any issue with them unwontedly extracting themselves at the most inappropriate time? Thanks in advance for any wisdom and/or reassurance.
