Plug and play my *** lol. Oh, and if anyone in NNJ is really good at re-aligning the headlight housings, please chime in with any tips so I can clean the gaps up. TIA

Oh, and its cold outside. In case anyone was wondering

Default My problem is that the passenger side wiring harness isn't long enough to connect to the housing

And I need to use the car tonight. So I either need to cut my losses and reinstall the halogens or figure this out in the next hour and a half. Its so frustrating

Default What kind of swap r u doing? I remember swapping my B6 DOT for ecodes with no problems

Are you changing bulbs inside or something? I had to take out the bulbs and ballasts from the dot and put them in the ecodes and I don't remember it taking five hours.

I do think I remember breaking a tab when I swapped them back out before I turned in my lease, but nothing horrible.

I marked the floor where tires are and then marked the wall for the beam, that is how I got it back close to stock.

Default B6 DOT halogens to B6 S4 DOT bi-xenons

The bi-xenon housing is larger and the cable can't make it around the back to plug in

Default Can I swing by tomorrow morning?

I think I'm going to toss the old halogen in for now (it had a dipped headlight anyway) since I have one xenon in. And tomorrow we can look at it again. God this **** is such a pain in the *** lol
