[QUOTE="FJRocket, post: 46536, member: 299"] The original "factory" clip postion in the bixenon light source has THREE SLOTS SHOWING out the back end of the mechanism. I think the clip goes where the magic yellow arrow is on WC's post. In order to get the light source back to the position of a dual filament high beam, I had to cut a new slot about 2 -3 mm FORWARD of the factory "washboard slots". I used a dremel with a cut off wheel to start, then a very fine, very sharp edged file to finish it. I started using and exacto knife, but the material was too hard to slice (especially in comparison to my fingers!). Warchild, in addition to removing all the guts of the bixenon mechanism, I also might suggest you cut the base and that lousy reflector back a bunch. I bevelled my base back quite a lot to stop the base from shadowing the lght source onto the relfector lens. Sorry, no pictures yet. My host servers are evidently still down. Maybe Sunday I can get some pictures posted. I think if you are going to have a dedicated HIGH BEAM ONLY light, removing the end cap would be perfectly acceptible. Just don't EVER look at it, don't EVER leave your high beams on with oncoming traffic. You will most certainly permanently blind the oncoming traffic and melt down many nearby objects. At the very least, you might cause 2nd degree burns. :o [/QUOTE]
