First off make sure you have a drop light so when your trying to see stuff at 10pm at night in a poorly lit garage it makes it that much easier to remember/see to plug in one of the plugs from the car harness to the plug behind the lights...basically the hi/lows plug into the sockets on the new lights and for some reason I only plugged in 1 on each side... I left my drop light in Iraq and haven't replaced it I was installing in my roommates garage that has 1 60 watt bulb in the ceiling...lol Had I plugged in the other plug it would have knocked off an easy 1+ hr of work trying to figure it out....lol oh well lesson learned it worked itself out and the drive into work this morning was nice very bright and it casts a nice light at an angle off the corners of the car Im not used to being able to see!
