••••$125 2-year warranty slim HID ••••

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: 02V8Sport

Matt from Umnitza has a deal going on for a set of slim ballast HID's.

Im am copying this info with his permission from another forum. I ordered a set of these to replace my fat ballast HID's I have now.

••••$125 2-year warranty slim HID ••••

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that I have your attention

Call us, we have the kits Lots of them.

This new HID kit is in addition to our offerings from ProLumen and features the following:

* Digital Ballast
* Integrated Ignitor and Ballast with Flexible Connections
* Wafer Thin Design
* Bullet Proof Reliability
* 2 Year Warranty

Where can I use this kit?
Anywhere! It works for your fogs, halogen low beams, high beams if you so desire...anywhere a true HID kit works. This is a complete system that allows unmatched flexibility in mounting and installation due to the unique slim wafer ballasts.

So what does the kit include?
2 bulbs, integrated ballast/ignitor, all the connections to make it work and a 2 year guarantee on any defects related to the product excluding normal wear and tear or bulb failure.

FAQ:
Q: What bulb type should I choose?
A: H1 usually for low beams.

Q: What color is best?
A: It really depends what you're looking for. Please realize that Kelvin Scale (K) does *NOT* denote brightness! The Kelvin scale is used only as a measure of COLOR output! Although "bluer" headlights may appear brighter, higher Kelvin applications actually produce less visible light on the road! It is for this reason that OEM applications use 4300K (Yellow/White) bulbs! You should choose a color that matches your needs aesthetically, but realize that Higher Kelvin = Lower Lumen. It is for this reason that we do not offer any color above 8000K!

WTF, thats a good deal, and those ballasts are small!

I think I found the kit im getting.

So do I have to adapt anything else? And does this just plug and light. No wires to cut or splice?

All plug and play.

Yes it is, it replaces your halogen bulbs so you can use the HID lights instead.

Matt doesnt have them on his site. I would email him at umnitzaship@gmail.com with questions about size you want and color.

I went with the H11 bulbs and 5000K. I personally like the pure white light look.

Posted by: DunItRight

Wow never mind....

Thanks for filling us in on it man, that is a great deal. I cant wait to get mine in!

No problem, for $125 to have slim digital ballasts and a 2yr warranty. Its a no brainer.

Wow... i hope this goes on for a couple more weeks, until i get paid. That's a great deal!

umnitzaship@gmail.com Email Matt, he has a lot of kits, he siad he is getting rid of. He seems to have all different sizes and bulbs ranging from 4300K to 8000K, but email him to be sure.

Posted by: fonsito

So the entire kit is for $125??? WOW that is a mega good deal

Posted by: Eric0508

Does anyone know where we can find out if its illegal or not to run these in our state?

Also, couple questions:
should you run these where your high beams are or low beams?
and what range is the "white" kind?

Thanks guys!!

What's your state? I'm quite sure it is always illegal to retrofit HID, but it may vary by state. Definitely run them in lows, that's what you use 99% of the time. As for "white" kind, any HID color temp from 4,300k up to roughly 8,000k will be white, with the higher kelvin ratings having a bluish tinge. I recommend 4,300k since it offers a very crisp white and also has the highest lument output (the most light on the road). 4,300k is what all oem HID setups use. If you are more concerned with impressing other people, go with a higher kelvin rating.

Posted by: Eric0508

Im not so much concerned with impressing other people. I'm just concerned with not getting a ticket. what have other people's experiences been with this? I don't even like the blue ones, so i'd prolly go with the whites. Have any of you with HID's gotten pulled over? I don't want to spend $125 on some lights I'll get a $100 ticket for. BTW I'm in Michigan.

Correct me if I am wrong but thats what I saw in a video on stuff on it once.

I've had HID's for over 3 years and never once been pulled over because of them. I wouldn't worry about the laws.

Again, quite sure retrofits are illegal. The following is from www.danielsternlighting.com Daniel is a consultant for automotive lighting solutions.

"What about the law, what does it have to say on the matter? In virtually every first-world country, HID "retrofits" into halogen headlamps are illegal. They're illegal clear across Europe and in all of the many countries that use European ECE headlight regulations. They're illegal in the US and Canada. Some people dismiss this because North American regulations, in particular, are written in such a manner as to reject a great many genuinely good headlamps. Nevertheless, on the particular count of HID "retrofits" into halogen headlamps, the world's regulators and engineers agree: DON'T!

The only safe and legitimate HID retrofit is one that replaces the entire headlamp—that is lens, reflector, bulb...the WHOLE shemozzle—with optics designed for HID usage. In the aftermarket, it is possible to get clever with the growing number of available products, such as Hella's modular projectors available in HID or halogen, and fabricate your own brackets and bezels, or to modify an original-equipment halogen headlamp housing to contain optical "guts" designed for HID usage. But just putting an HID bulb where a halogen one belongs is bad news all around."

I tried that once and the cop was not buying it. What happened is he was in a corner gas station and when i turned left i blinde him he pulled out fliped his lights and proceded to give me a $175 ticket for failure to dim lights. I was driving with the low beams and fogs on both with 8000K hid;s in them. Plus he was a bored FHP at 1am with nothing to do. Other than that cops dont really seem to care its illigal but with so many cars with them it would be difficult to control it. I say at least 60% of cars here in miami have hids some are stock highend cars and some are aftermarket, so i wouldnt sweat it unless you get really unlucky.

Posted by: 02V8Sport

the HID lights that get the most heat from law enforcement are the ones over 6000K. It is illegal for a vehicle to emit any blue(ish) or red lights from the front.

The only way to tell is if you have HID's in a headlight that is marked for HID's. Halogen type of headlights have the HB3 or simial marking. HID's are marked different. I don't know what the marking is. However, any DOT official will know.

Here in Tennessee, we do not have vehicle inspections so people do pretty much anything they want with their cars. I've had an HID conversion kit on my LS and Pathfinder forever and never had a problem. As long as the headlights are properly aimed and do not blind oncoming traffic you should not have a problem.

MAN! thats is an awesome deal! I just ordered 3 sets! not for hi n lows but I bought 2 for lows just different temps! I cant wait to see em on, the bad news I just found out one of my fogs assembly is broken, so I need to buy new fogs assemblies, does any1 know of any for sale at a goog price??

Posted by: DunItRight

You do know you could have found set of bulbs in the desired Kelvins at a cheaper price than buying 2 sets?

The fog lights are cheap just about everywhere I need to upgrade mine to the 03 style and i find LSK to be a good price. Just about as good as anywhere else unless you are buying scratched up used ones.

Yeah I do, but Im keeping whichever I like better and then will re-sale the kit as they r selling em so cheap.

Nah! I want new ones! I didnt check on LSK though. Whats the difference between the 00 and 03 fogs anyways? do u need to modify anything to do that?

Just a bit of modding, they show you how on the site. Look at the site and you will notice the cleaner nicer updated look.

Posted by: decibels5

hey guys, I am looking for the oem/white look. How are the 3k and 6k. which one would be most like the oem hids? oem are 4800k and 5000k. any input would be great.

Posted by: DunItRight

6k I would have to say. I have 6k Nokyas, they look the closest. I also have the yellow Nokyas and they are 2500k. So round that out and I would say 6k.

3k might be to much like the ugly stock non hid.

Just got the HID's in today. 2 days from CA to IL. Very fast shipping. Will post pics this weekend. These ballasts are very small. Quality looks very good on these.

Hey Sport,, emailed Matt today to get right size and 5000k, so will be ordering today, $125 shipped,,lol great deal.

But whats the difference besides size on regular sized Ballast and these "very small" ballasts?

Posted by: 02V8Sport

not the best pic, but here are HID's on all 4 lights. Ill get better pics at dawn.

The electronic ballasts regulate output voltage and current based upon fixed parameters, where the digital ballasts have a microprocessor that controls the output to the bulb. The Digital ballast also communicates with the bulbs and report thier health, a feature the electronic ballasts wish they had.

So what difference does a microprocessor make? It makes a fair amount of difference. Digital ballasts won't attempt to light a bulb if it senses a failure. Digital ballasts are continually monitoring and checking the input and output voltage and current to maximize bulb life, color and illumination (brightness).

I hope this clears up the difference between Digital Ballasts and Electronic ballasts. Digital Ballasts are electronic ballasts on steroids. And the difference can be seen!

These ballasts can also be mounted in very tight spaces which you will appreciate on the LS engine bay.

You just unplug the stock headlight and plug in the new harness from the HID ballast and that is it. No external power wires are necessary on these.

Posted by: joshluvsla

So has everyone that ordered got their HID yet? They look like the ones on ebay for $100 what is the difference with all respect? I have had a few sets of HIDs the expensive ones and they would always not function correctly on the LS. They would some times stay on or would not come on at all. Any one have pics of succesful install and pics of the way these slim HIds look?

02V8Sport if i do order these HIds do I email the guy and tell him that I want the 9006 6000k or do I just send the payment and thats asumed already?

You wont get a slim digital ballast kit on Ebay for $100. All the HID kits look similar, they all dont look different. This is a great deal to have a much more reliable ballast and hardware than the made in China crap you get on Ebay that burns out in 6 months. Digital ballasts take time to break in, that is why they dont come on right away at first. You need to drive around as much a possible with your lights on, even during the day for the digital ballast to get broken in to work properly.

If you order from Matt, just use the PayPal link and specify the size and color in the additional comments box when you check out. That is what I did and got my HID's in 2 days.

Thanks a lot for the heads up 02V8Sport.

It's not been 2 hours since I've ordered them and they've already shipped my package. I'm itching to get a second pair for the fog lights.

I dont even have my car yet! I'm still waiting for it to come up from Texas.

I really hope the previous owners didnt take it in to the dealer to fix the headlight seals. I really wanna get those clear turn signal lenses too.

02v8, do you have nay pics of the location where you put the ballast yet?

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

I just got my kits a few hours ago. The ballasts are just a bit smaller than common ones but way thiner and they look kinda crappy to me n seem like used. However all cables n plugs coming out of em do look brand new and the bulbs r new for sure. Lets see how they do!
Now how should I conect em??

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

Uhm... I think something is wrong... maybe its me

but the ballast plug that goes to the car's original plug doesnt fit correctly, I mean it wont go all the way in it should. And... they wont work.
So what did I do wrong assuming this kits are trust worth... I conected the car's plug I took off the halogen bulb, I coneected the two small plugs that conects the ballast to the bulb. Dont work, I tried the small plugs the other way arround, dont work.
Uhm...

help!

If it comes down to it you can splice em in. Or at least try.

What year do you have?

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

I pushed em in as hard as I could but didnt work out. Mine is a 2000 V6. I tried just one not both, will that affect somehow?

No clue, but I found an install pdf. Obviously I'm still waiting for mine and I dont know if you have this but it might help.

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

Ok based on that draw, the original head light power conector wont fit correctly the red one that comes from the ballast.
There is no plug between high voltage ingiter and ballast, they are connected already.
And the two plugs that connect the high voltage igniter and the blub is nearly impossible to connect em wrong!

Theres 2 things in my head,
1- Those are not the correct ballast for me car.
2- Maybe both of em should be conected to work, but this sounds kinda stupid though.

I dont see whats wron! Ive tried em with the fog lights, and the ballas to car's oem cable does fits correctly, however, the bulb wont light up.

Posted by: DunItRight

Check the relay. I dont know where its at on the V6 but look for a diagram or ask around. If you have one standard bulb out the others work but i dont know about the harness its self and HID' bulbs in general.

It appears Umnitza was selling these on a Nissan forum and a few members had some problems but I think they were able to get them resolved.

The two small pins go into your stock headlight harness, it is polarity sensitive. You need to match the black with black and color with color, the rest of it should all plug together ballast to bulb with the harnesses on the ballast and bulb. Seems like you are trying to hook the ballast harness to the car harness, it wont work that way.

Posted by: Rodewaryer

I think it cruel to rain on someones parade and it looks like several people here are pretty jazzed about this light deal, it sounds very good. If lights aren't way over top with output, and are adjusted correctly (the key) why would anyone bother you. Better lights make a safer situation.

On the other hand, Daniel Stern lighting is an awfully good source. He knows his stuff so it's kind of a catch 22......

Ok I bought 3 kits. 2 for low beams, and 1 for the fogs. In the package are, 6 ballast (all exactly the same) 6 bulbs, and 2 wires wit a plug in one side and 2 pins in the other, I thought these are for the fogs as I receive just 2. What I did was, I conected the red plug of the ballast to the car's plug that was conected to the halogen bulb, then I conected the 2 small plugs of the ballast to the bulb's one. I notice the red plug and the car's plug doesnt conect properly, they fit but they wont lock, so I have no idea what went wrong

These go into the positive and negative sides of the vehicle harness.

Ok, now I have 2 pairs, so I conect them into the car harness plug (where the halogen bulb was) and then I conect the plug to the ballast erd plug, right? and of course the ballast to the bulbs. Am I right?
Thanks for the support though!

Make sure when hooking it into the car harnesss you hook positive nad negative up correctly. black to black and color to color.

Yeah seem like I got it! but then something is missing. Cause I just got 4 cables ending up in those spade terminals or w/e, enough to hook up 2 ballasts, not 6! so I guess Ima call Tom or Matt tomorrow and ask em to ship the rest of the cables! and the receipt! cause I guess without it I wont have any warranty.

Posted by: Eric0508

after careful consideration....
im just going to go with the Hoen xenonmatch plus kit.
I cant justify shelling out that kind of dough, even though its a good deal!

btw, why is the xenonmatch plus kit more expensive from lskoncepts? I'd like to order from them, but not if its more money?
the heavy duty connecters are $10 bucks from hoen and $19 from lskoncepts.

I found ANOTHER forum where a different retailer was selling the prolumen kit and some people had some problems but they were also able to get them fixed I believe. Just click on the links for the pics.

Posted by: JPsBored

I was about to order a set for my 9006, but sounds like allot of BS work to get these to fit a 2000 9006 bulb setup.

I thought these were a PLUG N PLAY setup? was that for a GEN 2 LS?

Also, doesn't the kit come with written directions for install?

Posted by: robnu0069

OK i called and ordered the kit on 10-11-07 and paid 35$$ for next day shipping and today is the 14 and still no lights. When i contacted the company they said it may be that i am not within one day away??????????? thats B/S cause they have the service for next day. I am begining to think this company is a joke so buyer beware.

Hi robnu0069, did you get a tracking number? If so I'd like to hear where they are currently at. Your right one day delivery is one day, whether it has to be overnighted or whatever. I've heard through other forums Umnitzas service has been up and down sometimes.

If it's not plug and play I'll be disapointed but hard wiring these headlights up SHOULD be pretty easy, so I think I'll give it a shot. Not saying it is but it should.

Posted by: robnu0069

I do have a tracking number and im from columbus ohio and they were in columbus the 13th

Posted by: DunItRight

This company is no joke. Do your research pall. This where allot of the HID and Angel eye kits end up coming from!

Next day shipping means they get processed and shipped right away but it still may take day or so more depending on where you are at to get them to you. Since when did anything come in the mail or anything like that on Sunday? I guarantee they will be there tomarrow, they would be there by today but nothing happens on a Sunday!

Oh and if you put the order in late in the day, that may have something to do with it also.

DunItRight is RIGHT! lol, no delivery on Sunday, they will probably be there tomorrow. Depending on what time you ordered them they probably went out on the 12th.

And it does sound like everybody is making this harder than it really is. Fitting the wiring harness into the existing headlight connection shouldnt be so hard, spade plug or not. Anybody with a little car electrical exp should be able to do it no problem. Then again we dont have pics of what people have received and I'm waiting on mine so I could be totally wrong.

No its not that hard, they are pretty much universal and Umnitza deals with allot BMW stuff anyways to begin with, not so much Lincoln! I see allot of people getting the first set they ever owned and coming up with this paranoia that they don't work cause they don't understand the product.

Mine are killer and soon as I find a lower Kelvin bulb somewhere cheap to match the yellow fogs I have now Im getting a set to replace those.

I hear ya, a little after I purchased the first kit I bought a second kit, 3000K for the fogs. I'd love that clean look on both lamps but the fogs are fogs for a reason and here in the Salt Lake City area it does get foggy sometimes.

If it's not plug and play I'll be disapointed but hard wiring these headlights up SHOULD be pretty easy, so I think I'll give it a shot. Not saying it is but it should.

It is plug and play but, they leave it up to you to use the existing connectors from your car. They wont supply those and they wont give the kits with other connectors. They would get calls all day long with crap like,.... YOU SENT ME THE WRONG KITS!!!! They don't want that, thats not universal or retro fit.

How many LS owners does it take to change a lightbulb.....

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

Ok guys, these are bad ass, the problem is not with the product, aparently I connected it the wrong way, and the only problem is they seem to sent me wires to conect a pair of ballast instead of 3 pairs. But thats not big deal, I'll just call em tomorrow and they'll sove it.
I mean for what I paid, they r way more than I expected till now, Ima go try em right now and let u guys know. Im also posting a pic of everything I had in my package so u'll see what is missing.

Posted by: DunItRight

No pics of them installed yet?

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

no cause ive tried em and since I couldnt get them to work, i took em off
But notice the difference between the 8000k and 6000ks they both are 9006, then why are they different! I tried the 6000s, and I think the missing cable I was talking about is the one the 8000s have.
I cant post them here, if u want send me a pm with ur mail n I'll send em to you so u can post em.

these HID kits are very easy to install. It took my 30 minutes to do both sides and my HID ballasts are broken in and light up every time I turn the headlight on. VERY well worth the money. Its the same install for both Gen1 and Gen2.

I see where your confusion is at. You have a harness on the wires where the blue/black wires are. Thats where I see he sent you harness plugs that turn into spade plugs. the spade plugs are the ones that go to your factory harness.

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

done, 02V8Sport Im not that stupid, something is not right here besides me, Ive tried all possible ways to connect them but there is no way to make em work.
Do u have any pics of yours installed?

Posted by: 02V8Sport

another look at your photo garage, your spade plugs look too big for the stock wiring harness, put new connectors on or cut them down with wire cutters.

I can cut off the spade plugs and attach smaller ones that'll go into the car harness. Will that solve the problem?
What about my fog lights? I dont have any more of those spade plugs ending wires! those are missing, right? check one of my pics has absolutely everything Ive got from this guys. This is making me nervous, I think I'll leave it for tomorrow before I throw em throught my 5th flor window.

Dude please, do me that favor and give that pic with everything a closer look and tell me if I have missing conectors or cables. Thanks bro.

It just looks like the spade plugs on the kit are too big to fit into the car harness, they will have to be replaced or cut sown with wire cutters to fit. I would just go to AutoZone and buy a 9006 wiring harness and do it right. Cut off the spade plugs and put a new $3 9006 harness on it from the store, then its all plug and play. I bought the H11 kit and it all went in perfectly fine in less than 30 minutes for both sides.

Cut the sapde so that it would fit and just solder it into the opposite connector. Then its plug and play. Like I said they leave it up to you to figgure out the connector

Unfortunately a lot of these HID kit manufacturers assume that people that install these have some McGyver skills. I figured it out the second I looked at it, some people have no clue.

The HID ballast has a red plug on it.

The H11 kit however requires the spades - those spades are narrow/thin and will slide right into the H11 harness plug from the car.

I don't usually say this on HID kits, but it might help you to get a professional installer. I've looked over this post and the suggestions and I think you'd be better off having someone that does installations look it over.

Tom can walk you through it but he's basically going to do it exactly like what I laid out above.

Ok, hopefully this is my last/only post - happy installing

my bad, my H11 has the spade plugs, seems like the 9006 doesnt need them.

Man Im sorry but u r wrong, the red plug wont fit my car's oem plug, thats what Ive tried at first assuming it was that easy, but it wont go all the way in to lock, I 'll go take a pic and show u.

that plug is the only thing your car's plug will go into. There is no need to use the adapters with spade plugs on the bulb for any 9006 and 9005 applications. <-- red so you can relate the plug from the car to the plug from the ballast. It's direct.

Dude has anyone with 9006 bulbs installed this kit correctly? I have emaield Matt and I see he has coem on here saying same thing he did to me in am email, buttt if it was as easy as you say than the guy with the problems would have figured it out by now.

I doubt he is a dumbass,, if was as simple as red plug to plug in than this shi** would have been done.

You say its plug n play yet not one here with 9006 has plug n played them yet.

And ur answer is, your not doing it right, or ur makin it harder than it is, etc...

Sport has the H11 bulbs so his help is useless "no offense Sport", its a different setup.

SOOO how bout some pics, or diagrams or something showing the "simple" install on a 9006 bulb?

That way we can see it and you can show hwo easy it is exaclty.

Please note that the customer wasn't sure if he should fit it in correctly. He just didn't press in hard enough. Now that he did that, he's good. It's not hard to do.

Got mine today. Now if the freaking car would show up tomorrow (it's been delayed almost a week) I might be able to get them installed by Wednesday afternoon.

Everything looks good. All components are there. Everything looks ready to go.

I'll be sure to update everybody on the install.

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

Ok, it was as easy as they say, the thing is I tried pushing em in so hard and they wouldnt go in! but the thing wasnt just pushing em in, I had to move the little pins inside the red plug, I opened em a bit but didnt work out, then I closed em in and didnt work out, and I just kept playing with them moving and moving, then from all the sudden it went in

and I thought, what the heck did I do!!! so I did the same with the other one till it went in!
Now with the fogs it was an easier story, way easier! I didnt use those flat pins, I used and extra harness the 8000k bulbs had I donk know what for but they came handy! I just plug this harness one plug to the car's plug, n the other to the ballast red one. However, for the right side fog, I has to cut the harness and invert the cables. Im posting the pics in a little while, but I still dont know how the hell to post em here, so ur gonna have to look at em in my gallery.
I put 8000k lows n 6000k fogs. I dont see a difference! but Matt told me they need to break in so lets give em some time.

Something I notice, really kool to me, the ballasts when on, they make a noise like a clock or something, I assume its what this guy with the damn sweet LS posted days ago saying this ballast are monitoring the bulb's input n output all the time. The first time I turned em on, they made another sound like a current transfformer or something for like a 3 or 4 minutes.
They really look high class sh**
Highly recommended.

Even though we do not sell this particular brand of HID system, I don't understand why it is that difficult to install. It is a plug and play system like ALL HID conversion systems out there. The Xetronic systems we sell should not take longer than 45 minutes from beginning to end to install. You can view the simple installation guide here:

http://www.lskoncepts.com/HID%20Conv...ll%20Guide.pdf

That install guide should work for any HID conversion kit.

The only problem is that the plug that conects to the car's harnes is damn difficult to stick it in. Thats all.

Uh, ok. I haven't seen this particular kit in person so I can't attest to what the connection plugs look like. However, when does "plug and play" become "push real hard plug and play"?

Posted by: 02V8Sport

Glad to see you have it working, here is the pic from your gallery. Looks very bright and white!

Posted by: cuzican

I ordered mine on Thursday and came in on Monday. I see what everybody is talking about with the plugs. All I did was cut the extra harness that was on the 8000k bulbs that will plug into the red plug. I then cut the factory plugs off and wired the supplied plug to the factory harness. I checked and a regular 9006 plub will still work with that plug so no problem going back to stock. Whole installation took about 20 minutes. Not hard at all especially if you know and understand wiring.

Only question I have is when I turn them on sometimes only one will come on. Then I can turn them off and back on and both lights will work. Is this because the ballast need to be broke in?

Going through the same thing right now. Im waiting to get some sort of explaination for this. My HIDS only come on and stay on with the car off. Once the car is started either one or both turn off. These only stay on about 5% of the time. The bulbs start to flicker and turn off. Weird!!

Posted by: DunItRight

Omg, awesome I knew there wasnt anything serious. I honestly had no clue what the hell was going on when you talked about those spades...lol.

Thanks for Umnitza actually comeing on this forum to clear things up. That was cool and I think that was great customer service. I thnk these HID's are so damn good its unreal. I woud never pay for half of those other kits out there that are selling for way over this price.

Posted by: JfEdS3UsS

Thanks 02V8Sport! it really came easier when those red plugs went in! I just got back from the garage, now I got both fogs working perfect and already locate the ballasts casue last night it was too late so I just used tierods (is that how u spell that?) And they still making that moskito sound! the lows dont do that no more but since the fogs were just installed right they do. I love this kit bro! Ive never seen anything like this!

Oh btw say happy bday to me guys come on.

Oh guys, I cant post the pics now! not even upload them to the gallery! so Ima post em at myspace and give u guys a link!

uhm, myspace sucks so I'll update my car domain page with all the installation pics.

Mine work, I didnt do anything extra at all. I stopped in at Autozone yesterday ( needed some more brake gooey's) and some kid came out and said " Nice HID's those look good!".

Posted by: bigpappy33

i got mine working as well, i didnt use the red plug i just put the little pins into the 9006 connector because i didnt "push hard enough" and figured it worked either way.
