I just got 4300K low beams from Jonathan a couple weeks ago, and they are awesome. They are really easy to install and Jonathan is one of the best vendors I have worked with. If you're on the fence about this DO IT! You won't regret it.

Plenty of room in the inside of the fender well up against the side.... I used heavy duty velcro on mine. You can pick up industrial strength velcro at home depot for about $5.

So am I the only one thats totally stupid that cant figure this part out.




The directions keep talking about the relay?



I understand the top part goes into the factory harness (is that extra piece just an extension harness for mounting incase the other piece isnt long enough?.... what relay? And how does the resistor get hooked into it?

First pic
Little circles need to go in the connector found in the lower left of big circle. You need to figure out which one is pos and which one is neg first. You do this by looking at your stock low beam plug.

The resistor goes into the connection in big circle coming out of ballasts.

The other end will go in that connector I talked about in the first paragraph.

The other end of that (where you inserted those plugs matching your pos and negs) will connect to the stock plug.

That's it.

Sorry about that. It happens sometimes.

I'll get you a new one out Monday. I didn't open your PM as a reminder for Monday.

So pretty much just like I have it in the second picture? The resistor is only going to be on one headlight, not connected to the other?

Correct. It's going right between that gap you have in your connection to the ballast.

Easy!!

Ballasts? I have one on top of my DRLS (for fogs). They've been there for a while! Still stuck. Checked them today while installing projectors.

My lows are mounted on that panel where the brake duct connects into.

Anywhere the light operation isn't affected or the wires being snagged or caught into the light is fine.

I don't run a resistor. When I did I just let it hang for testing purposes.

I have a ProCharger P1SC1-1 in my car, so I have two large intercoolers in my corners. I stucks my ballasts on top of my intercoolers. That made a perfect spot!
