I hope you find some helpful pointers in this Flat 6 Install Thread

Sorry to hear this. I’ve swapped the Flat6 lights in and out several times without issue. The trick to alignment for the screw at the base is to simply insert an Allen wrench in hole first. This will get everything properly aligned and make the final step with the screw a snap.
My only complaint with the Flat6 units is a loose contact that I have in one of the headlamps. On three occasions now I’ve driven home and found a headlight out. That’s why I’ve gotten so good at swapping the headlights in and out.

I had 2 loose contacts out of four lights. The central pin on the H5 harness plug was too short both times. Took me half-an-hour poking around with a multimeter to figure that out. Might take less time for those who actually know how to use a multimeter.

Daniel Stern Lighting gives a good overview of the aiming procedure: https://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html

Carbone bi led lights
hey I’ve just bought a 964 and based on a recommendation, asked the garage to put in led bulbs. I’ve been looking at the carbone lights, almost 2k. Are they a lot better and is it a quick plugin? Thanks

Don't want to hijack this thread...but...is there any mechanism to do away with the ridiculous, multiple springs to hold the headlight in. I must have tried for hours with them pinging everywhere then the headlight not seating properly. Please tell me there is a better way.
I don't drive at night much but did the other day and although my upgraded H4 and bulbs are not bad, if the Rennline LEDs do away with the fitting issues I'd be interested.

Haha- I know what you mean about those clips. File a little V in the tip of a flat blade screwdriver and use that to both install and remove them. Gets easier with practice....

Did you investigate the aim of your new bulbs? I'm curious to hear if you have any further updates as I'd be willing to try these out and spend the money on other things. I like the 9Eleven Ravens quite a bit but its hard to justify the cost. Something like this may just be a temporary stop-gap, though.
