from the ebay ad "Use H7 light bulbs for Low Beam and H1 light bulbs for High Beam." I'll just be using halogens for the highs. I use highs maybe once a year.

What brand housings are they? They look like depo but the add didnt say so. If they are depo watch out for that cut-off line cuz it sucks major. If they were depo they would have come with a crappy lil depo card.

Those are the same ones I have , reseal them before you install them as I have heard of them leaking. I resealed mine and haven't had any problems. Preventative maintainance....

+1 on the resealing. mine leaks every so often. careful with the little boxes that power the halos as mine burnt out within like a few months after getting hit w/ water from a huge rainstorm

before u install them, take a look at them and see if you can tell how difficult it would be to remove the projector that comes in it and replace it with a better quality one. i was thinking about picking a set up and replacing the projector in them as opposed to a retro into my oem housings....

ok...i'm feeling pretty stupid right now...

for the grounding wires on the HID pic...what do i do with them? I've watched a bunch of HID install videos and they never mention these.

As for the headlights...uhh...how do I install the bulbs. I've only ever had to twist the bulb and pull it out. These are making me feel dumb.

try pulling the little black boxes off of the lightbulb? you'll understand once you pull the box off the back of the bulb.

connect the red wire to the blue wired prong, black wire to black wired prong
