one last question i think, i tapped into the brown and black wires from the lil bulb for the halo but i dont think thats what i wanted. i wanted to make it so the halo only comes on when the fogs are on. i think what i did was make them so they are always on. so what wires would i tap them into? i do have HID fogs as well. Can i tap them into the stock fog connector that connects to the fog ballast? and if so brown is pos and black is neg correct? sorry i read the entire thread and i might have missed it

Well here is a few pics from my install you can view all the one i took from here
Thanks again mike for the great kit. this was my first install of this kind and everything was pretty easy!
I did find the prongs you are saposed to switch in the blue connector like barely crimped. So everyone who hasnt installed double check those connections. I had to solder one of mine and crimp the other since it wasnt crimped. Other than that everything was a cinch. I was also kinda hoping the halos would be more yellow... they are pretty white upclose :/

k guys here is the wiring for the low and highs to work on BOTH projectors
Right Projector wiring:http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...9/102_1888.jpg
Left projector wiring:1 is brown,2 is blue and 3 is white http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...9/102_1885.jpg
so yes its pretty much the same for both.If this does not work CHECK YOUR FUSES!!!!!! as for the halos i havent had any promblems BUT mine did go out for a while.All i did was unplug the halo wire that you connect to the ballast and plug it bak in and it worked again.hope this helped

So I started my retros a couple days agot. (taking my time)
I did this, but both lights still stuck on high. If i take out one of the high beam fuses, only that side will go back to low. If I take both fuses they both turn off. What should i do now.

id double check the pins in the blue connector i had one light go out when i turned the brights on and it turned out being one of the pins didnt make it in. also check each pin to make sure the wires are crimped properly i had 2 of mine not crimped properly. u can also try swapping the blue and white wires again.

take a small screwdriver on the pin side of the plug and push it in a lil the pin has a single barb u have to push in and then the pin will slide out the back with a lil tug on the wire.
