            You kinda have to figure it out...I forgot to take pics on how mine went in. The end of it pops into a hole.

                Don't worry none of them work anyway.

                Is that picture on Page2 comparing 35w and 55w on an E30? need to know about the cutoffs to see if I can get away with having HID's without getting into trouble. or pissing people off.

                  duhr. adjuster is to aim the light where it's supposed to aim!

                      okay i just figured out the adjustor, it just pops into a hole. Now, another question. With the cap on the low beam, does the little output part, where the cables plus into, is that supposed to face towards the fenders? or towards the middle of the car? I feel like it wouldnt matter but im just curious

                        Damn, I've been absent from the thread, my appologies. Looks like you guys have been giving some good advice. As for the adjuster, it's a little complicated, you have to just fiddle and figure it out, I forgot to take pictures. I really should have taken a video.

                        The little end part on the headlight cap- doesn't matter which way it's facing.

                        I've had kind of some hard time adjusting my headlight, they seem to point "up" a little too far, it lights up my whole neighborhood haha. Good for visibility, bad for unwanted attention. You may need to fiddle around to get them where you want them.

                              hey wait a minute. whoever originally made this thread, hooked up the original headlight wires straight to the ballast. Jaywood in your thread you take out the wires out of the suciton cup, and hook them up the the original wires and take the other plug from the suction cup and plug THAT into the ballast. Why did you take the wires out and seal up the holes? I dont really understand, I really compared the 2 walkthroughs and they are both different. please someone help this has been delayed long enough

                                Thanks for the write up - Just followed it today and had both up and running in less than 30 minutes. The 55W - 5K Raptor Kit from DDM is well worth the money - but these things are crazy ass bright - literally daylight - no joke. Haven't had it out on any of the main roads yet - - anyone getting shit from oncomers or johnny law ?
