I noticed a little heat when fan came on. So I'll trim and reinstall the plastic baffle

Also did everyone else put the ballast for HID lites inside the headlite compartment or outside the back cover. One of my kites shutdown and after checking connections and cycling headlote switch it refired.

I put mine inside the housing as well. Lots of room with a slim ballast

Well I still having trouble with one of my HID lights. So removed them and shopping bacy to Amazon. When I get my refund I'll reorder. No way to just get replacement for one bulb and ballast

I'm going to reorder the same thing again. Hopefully I just got a bad one. I was able to plug the oem connector into the connector. It just doesn't have the correct clip to hold in to place. I think it was tight enough to stay together

Just noticed the ones I got were 35 watts. I think I will get 55 watt next time. The 35s were pretty bright, bug you can never have too much lite!!!

I did too.. how did you do your ome plug to hid lights?
The kit came with two plastic female connectors that the pins on the pigtail clip into. It comes dissassembled that way so that you can determine the correct polarity by trial and error before pushing the pins into the female connector. So, I just pushed the pins into the plastic connector, and plugged that to the connection on the harness that the bulb connects to.

I did want to mention that all the kits I've received had multiple extra plug ends, is this not the case anymore?? Usually like with the 800 series they will include all necessary hardware for that line.

I don't remember ever getting a set that didn't have correct plugs in the kit. That sucks but I guess you still prevailed
