its the black and red one that are just bare copper wire.

Actually I'd like to know the steps to hooking these up to the parking lights as well. Or I'd like to see someones switch idea, or maybe the remote switch idea.

Im thinking something like this might be cool. too bad its not one button, or rather have the trunk, door unlock, door lock, and halos on it.

So this morning, I got in my dad's 7 series... I parked it pretty close to the garage wall, so when I started up the car.. I noticed something about the hids... the cut off was perfect, but I also noticed a line in the middle of each beam...

So I got out of the car it was the shadow of the bulb on the wall... then I realized I could see the position of the bulb... the insulator was straight up

So went over to my car, noticed my driver the one was upside down... and passenger was tilted..

Tightened passenger it was perfect

Driver.. no go, looks like from the manufacture they put the little tabs in the wrong spot.. so I filed one off... and bam PERFECT cut and color now matches lol
