ok I got my 5k kit to work now. The problem WAS with the o rings that came with the lights. The kits they have now need to have the o rings swapped with the stock headlights. After that it is no problem at all. I will post pics up after work tomorrow.

lol bro just take off that red/orange ring. I had the same problem then i took it off and problem solved. You'll b able to see where the bulb goes in and righty tighty lefty lucy. Switch it with the ring on your stock bulb.

my passenger bulb did quit working one time i turned them on but i turned them off pressed on the plugs on that side and then they had no problem after that. Also once when i turned my car on it turned off but right back on after the car was cranked. Supposedly they said if u have subwoofers that it might cause some flickering, but u can install a capacitor and fix the problem.

Love it. There is so much more light on the road. I even took it for a test drive and nobody flashed their highbeams at me. But I am pretty low to the ground too.

Hmm well im waiting for my car to come back from they body shop, but i already have HIDs in my possession waiting to be installed... and now that subs were mentioned and that they could cause flickering im kinda worried about that... I dont really push my system though so hopefully it'll be alright

Im kinda down on money to buy a capacitor
