    I got mine, the headlight install wasn't too bad. I figured there would be two plugs, one for each headlight - but only one plug drives 'em both! Now I have the OEM plug on the passenger side just hanging, but I guess that's OK. The real problem I have is the foglights - how are you guys replacing these and where are you putting the ballats? I couldn't even figure out how to get to the headlights, short of crawling around on the ground and monkeying my arm in there...

    there is one 10mm bolt on both sides that i put the ballast onto. I just crawled under the front and
    installed my fogs in less than 15 minutes.

    you should not have to connect anything to the battery. those red and black wires plug into the ballast.

    Uhm my kit had 2 grounds and one hot lead that I put straight on the red (positive) side of the battery. They were all perfect 10mm bolt sized, so I grounded them on either side of the truck and put the red to red directly on the battery... maybe this is because I have the bixenons? I don't know, I don't think my fogs had the same setup. I still need to do those!

    yup I stand corrected. I looked at the shipment I got today (THANKS SLIM)! and my friend ordered bixenons. And they have a different wiring harness then just the single beam ones.

    is the opening of the cover suppose to be facing up or down. I:E if its facing down and you look at the headlight from up top you see the silver cover.
    Facing up you see the bulb

    With the non bi xenon version, do you still only hook up one OEM headlight plug? I know with the fogs that both OEM plugs are utilized while with the bi xenons only one is utilized.

    I sincerely hope that these are NOT the same ones... cuz it looks strikingly similar, for a fraction of the price.

    Thanks for pissing in all of our lemon aide. I did notice those right after I took delivery of mine. Hopefully ours are better quality.
