I still do not understand why adding a plug and play light would cause the headlights to not operate properly? I really want to order a pair, but hate the idea of patching in resistors for this mod and then adding resistors for the switchback LED's etc.

Its because HID and LED bulbs use less power than standard halogens. The car thinks the bulbs are burned out so the resistors trick the car into thinking regular bulbs are installed. We have run resistors in Vettes for years without any issue. We include quick connect clips that allow you to attach the resistors without cutting or soldering. Its really not a big deal and you can always bring the car back to stock when you want.

this will give you an idea of what they look like. I'll get better pictures later.
Remember, it's 28* outside, and the car is not running.
The ISO is 6400, so I could hand hold to take the shot.. So not very clear.. but you get the picture.
The lighting on the floor is the LED.. The lighting of the seat,, is the stock lighting off the map light.
Again, not hard to install. And the price and product are excellent, along with the finish look!!
