Cool Fitment mod

As you know, the new morimoto version xBALED has a small tab sticking out which is a b***h. The old version xBLED has the connection on the back of the ring. I guess the engineer guy just went full retard at some point during the process of designing the new ring . Anyhow, here is my little modification:

I re-soldered the wires to make them sideway to reduce the clearance.


Next, I drilled a hole close as much as possible to the edge, but not quiet going over it to ensure enough clearance for the tab.


Then, i shaved quiet a bit off about a quarter of the ring.


Viola, PERFECT fitment, just like OEM. You have to look very closely to see the gap.
