    Without the rubber boot, you are leaving a huge amount of room for moisture to get in. You see people's headlights fogging up just from not sealing it right, imagine the can of worms you just opened by not sealing up the bulb hole...

    Yeah that's the funny part. I had fogging in my right head lamp, but after I installed the HIDs it was gone. Don't ask my me how. :D

    its pretty straight forward, did you get the hi/lo kit? if you need just make sure you ground the harness. also if you remove the 2 bolts for the winshield fluid it makes for an easier install, same with moving the battery.

    I'd wait for the RMA, otherwise they will charge you a restocking fee. I have to send my bulbs back cuz one of em blew out. it took a couple of days to get an RMA #.
    Btw my headlight blew cuz the seal went on the headlight. Went to the stealer and they should have it in a couple of days. Thier phones never stopped ringing while I was there.
