Yes I would like to know as well

I did just plug them in and they work fine. I got them adjusted tonight and words cannot describe how great they are. They are so much superior to the halogen lights. And a word to Fred, I know I bugged you about a 55 watt unit way over a year ago, glad you talked me out of it...these things are so bright it is unreal. I adjusted them so the cut off is just below a tag on a small SUV (Honda) and below trunk level on a compact car while in low beam. ort I managed to get the two cutoff lines to merge perfectly and on bright the ISS called me and gave me a compliment.

Pictures to follow.....I know I am boring you guys to death....But Particalewave and Fred are a hard pair to beat.

Thanks
Dwight

Yes, that's the headlight vent tube. There are 2 small holes in the bottom of the headlight connector that vent through the tube.

So.....

It just helps keep the inside of the lamphouse dry by negative pressure as you are driving using the venturi effect ?
