Ah, then you have the same as me - the connector was missing on mine too, it was just bare spade connectors pushed onto the terminals for me too

This is the correct terminal wiring for dipped (viewed from above)

Top connector has the red/yellow wire and the right hand terminal has black. Left hand connector is not connected.

just checked and yea, my bulb was working only with 1 conector, well i mean only one half, so i just connected earth wire to the top connector and now they both work, but i dont know about the beam, need to wait till it will get darker

hope it will be alright now

and mine is edm so my wires are a bit different, yellow and red one is earth and what you have black its life

I take it those are Fleabay rice projectors? I've never seen a cut-off that defined with an H4 reflector.

Check the shields in both units are level - they are actually at the bottom & the lens 'reverses' them to appear to block the top!

The RH one looks perfect, but the LH looks inverted to me!

I had a persistent problem with the Civic rice lights (two sets!) until I worked out the brackets holding the projector were holding the LH one 'turned' so the level bit was flicked up & the flick up (language, Timothy!) was level. A bit of crimping & bending them got it perfectly level in the end. Then we sold it...

the h4 bulbs are twin filament. they are main and dip beam, but on a 4th they use 2 bulbs one for dip, one for main.

Blimey - they've got good cut-off for homofocals. Mind you, they look less like projectors in the new photo.

Oh well, at least it nicely demonstrates what happens in a homo if you slightly offset the placement of the bulb filament (dipped to main) and why if you put in a high-intensity discharge bulb, all you get is a glare-laden mess.
