    Absolutley, once you get the headlights on and fitted youll be very happy
    It was a pain in the ass today to do in the cold but I got the retros in and the demon eye wired up. The drivers side was tight. Once I got the hole made, the back of the bulb (wires) press slightly up against the metal behind it. Funny enough, the passenger side didn't have issue.

    You will need to purchase an H1 HID kit but other than that, yes they are plug and play.

    Alright, so... got my retros hooked up... both side halos and corner lamps work, both side halogen high beams work, passenger side projector works high/low... driver side projector does not even come on. No flicker, nothing.


    Set it up just like this, Red cable with the fuse holder connected to the positive battery terminal, ran down into the passenger fender, factory 3 prong plug connected, relay plug connected to ballast, input plug connected to passenger headlight, ground for passenger bolted down under the diagonal cross brace. Long side of the relay harness straight across the front bumper, set up all the same, except the one plug that would go into the "Input from car" plug is left hanging because there is nothing to plug it into on that side.

    Any suggestions?

    Most likely it's a bulb or ballast. Quickest way to check is to switch the ballasts. If the working bulb switches sides then you have a bad ballast. If it stays on the same side then it's most likely the bulb. It could be in the wiring too so the only way to eliminate that after you do the first test is put the bulb and ballast that you know work and put on the side of the harness that doesn't work. (Only need to do the second test if the working bulb stays on the same side that was working before.)

    If one didn't work you need to make sire the bulb and ballast both match positive and negative

    Okay so I took the whole assembly and switched the right and left sides on the body of the car. The driver side projector turns on when hooked up to the passenger side ballast and wiring. The passenger side projector then fails to light when hooked up to the driver side ballast and wiring. So the bulb is confirmed good. I also tried flipping the connector around, no change.

    A friend gave me a ballast he had laying around which he said was known to be good. I hooked it up and it still did not light. I then moved the ground to a different spot already used by another ground. This time it came on, just barely... Very dim and flickering, and there was a buzzing inside the car so I shut it off quickly.
    I guess I'll try playing with the ground more. I don't see why the cross brace wouldn't work, it's unpainted metal on the frame... And it works for the passenger side...

    Double check the ground wire. Might be broken or bad connection where it is crimped

    So wait you have two relays? As seen in the diagram? Seems excessive you only need one however if one relay isn't getting enough juice to switch power to the ballast I think that might be your issue

    Yeah, that's the harness that The Retrofit Source provides with their kits.. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/hid...system-h1.html

    However. Yay, I got it working! Im not sure what I really did, I pulled the boot from the base of the ground fork and then put the whole thing under the cross brace, all the way to where it clamps onto the wires, not just the fork part. Im thinking maybe that was loose on the wires and torquing down the cross brace clamped it all together harder. I also pushed the wires that plug into the ballast farther in, so the pins stuck out farther. Whatever I did, it worked great. Thanks for all your help guys.

    And thank you, Classy. You were great to work with, provided great communication, were patient with my questions.. even went out of your way a little bit to make sure I got what I payed for as conveniently as possible. Not least of all, you made an awesome product.. I just took a drive and it's 2:30 at night. The low beams are so nice, the high beams make it like it's freakin daytime outside... they look awesome too. Crystal clear lenses and solidly mounted projectors.

    Fully recommend anyone looking to get into HID's, well worth it.
