First, i can see to find the proper seating for these bulbs. I see there is a short tab at the bottom of the ring on the bulb and that slots into a slot in the head lamp fixture. However, its not what you would call "precision" it can vary up and down. If i'm going about this wrong can someone advise?
My low beams drove me nuts too, I bought my Crossfire used and the bulb in the driver's side had been replaced, but not installed properly, I could see fantastic about 10 ft in front of the car, but that was it. once I realized it was the way the bulb was sitting in the housing I just had to play with it til I figured it out. with the tab and slots, it goes in the right way but it will go in and not be properly seated. As aschrager said it is a little trial and error, once you get it seated properly it will "feel" right and you will be able to see again.
