anyways i was looking at the ballast and they have these orange brackets attch to them...do i remove these? or stuff them in the projectors?

does anyone have pics and or video for installing them ive seen the one from jj with the harness but nothing with th canbus

The harness is plug and play doesnt get any simpler, unplug light bulb, connect plug to canbus adapter, adapter to ballast, ballast to bulb, if you chose to try to cram it all in the light behind the cover id remove the bracket as theres not much room to begin with in there

The balasts can be shoved in the housing but I couldn't get it in there without more force than I felt comfortable with. I just cut the hole in the back cover and used the grommet with the wiring extensions and mounted the balasts on the radiator supports.

I didn't feel comfortable shoving the canbus adapter, the balast and that stuff in there, so I ended up doing what diller did, and just drilling a hole in the cap and using the grommet.

no need to drill guys.....

Lay the bulb wires under the grommet from the OEM dust cap, it will seal it up - no evidence of the dust cap being screwed with then

My balasts looked different than the video on your website and couldn't get them to fit in the housing. I have no problem drilling a hole and using the grommet.

Like Jeremy said, don't drill, hang the wires going from the bulb out and mount it somewhere behind the headlight.

I did it this way and the dust cap and the seal on the dust cap tighten up nice and allow the wires from the bulbs to get by.

I installed mine a week ago and they are GREAT!! I went 55w5000k and 55w3000k fog lights. Thinking about switching the fog lights to 5000K though.

I got mine all fit in the housing yesterday. Took me about 1/2 hour and lots of cussing but it's doable. Good luck
