Seal HID projector lens
 

I have a small question. Recently I did an HID retrofit. I sealed all the places were the light was leaking using an aluminum tape (i saw that in few posts/videos). I have attached pics. The marked places were sealed by aluminum tape. I installed Xentec HID (10000K) kit. Now after a week one bulb has blown out. Do you think it has anything to do with sealing the projector? Or it is the quality of the bulb? I dont think its air tight tough.

PS: I was not very happy with the brightness. They were not that bright. And the blueish light (10000K) reduces the visibility, i assume. My bimmer with Philips diamond vision halogen bulbs give better output. :)
