Sorry man I am at work and just got your PM. Did everything work out for you? I don't know what plug you were trying to install the lights into?

I've been dicking with this car for 4hrs and back at point a.The manufactures need to step their game up.No directions,And another guy had instructions for a different car. At this point I'm pissed...If they would just put good directions in the damn box form the jump.Not the crap that they e-mail you after the damn fact.

Leave your high beams alone if you ordered the 9006. That is the lows.
Your resistor will connect to the plug that is coming out of the ballast. Make sure your pos and negs match up or the resistor won't work. The other end connects into your HID light.
The resistor only connects two ways. Either of them are fine as long as your positives and negatives match up.

So just dont mess with the high beam at all. I think I'm gonna have to pull the whole damn light fixture out. I have the lid and shroud removed.I've heard this was the easy way to go about it.

You are making this way to hard of a deal, Very, Very simple install. Not sure why you are having such a hard time, I did all 4 of my lights in under an hour, They can only plug in one way....

Looks like the whole light houseing has to come out. I've got the concept on how everything goes.But trying to see it hooked up is giving me a headache.

I have very large hands and was able to remove the bulbs just fine. If this install is too much for you (That is what I am reading) you need to pay a shop to do it for you.

Light housing doesn't need to come out, The factory bulbs just turn 1/4 turn and come right out, The new HID bulbs go in the came way, Then just plug the conectors in and you are good to go.

I got the lights out and all Thats the easy part.I need a place to mount the ballast and the resistor. The resistor is 6in long. The install is not close to being over my head. When you buy something and it doesn't come with directions.You gonna have questions.I've never bought anything in my whole life that didn't come with directions.Until now.

Not sure why the OP didn't pick up the phone and call the vendor to begin with.

I explained that up top a little. Sometimes they are left out with the amount of lights I push out and other things going on. Stuff happens. All you have to do is send me a message and I can email them to you. It's real easy. You can't expect me to be available right when you do an install. That's why you plan ahead and find what you need before you start.
