Weird headlight blocker half circle thingy?

[grandpa_spec98]

Any way to remove the blocker that was for HID bulbs? Didn’t notice it made my front lights look weird until I got LED bulbs. The piece appeared to move when I put the bulb in, which is why I assume it to be removable.

Is it on the outside of the lens ? 

[grandpa_spec98]

Nope, its inside right at the tip of the bulb.

Is it on the bulb ? Or applied on the inside of the headlight assy.

I think he's referring to the glare shield that's inside the headlight assembly.

[grandpa_spec98]

That would be correct.

There is no easy way to remove the glare shield.  Unless you want to cut the headlight assembly open and attempt to glue it back together.

Why would you not want to stick with HID?  Those LED retrofit bulbs are garbage.  Especially the ones sold on ebay.  I tried them on 4/5 of our vehicles and I've gone back to the stock bulbs.

My experiences:

• Bulbs are DOA.
• Dead bulbs after 6-8 months.
• Flicker
• Scattered light everywhere but on the road.
• Excessive glare to oncoming traffic.
• Cooling fans causing radio static.
• Sketchy connectors.

I agree ^^^ Buy OEM bulbs and drive it like you stole it !!!  😉
