What part of the kit?

Could have been badly wired?

£250 and an auto electrician - that all we'll and good.

The main question is how did he wire them up.
I suspect he used the existing setup when installing

SOME are a simple plug and play

I know someone who fitted a pair of VERY well-known H4's bought from a trader with the highest feedback, they were NOT plug and play, took us half an hour to get them going.

Said trader, however, wasn't interested, claimed that plug and play didn't necessarily mean that.........

One of these days I'll post images of the cutoff, (awful) and the focus on main beam, (dire).

PLUS one light is a slightly different colour to the other I'll have to see if THAT comes out on a photo.

Whether the mods on here will let me post whose they were, is another thing
