I got the Premiums and they didn't come with the bi-xenon emblems and the XBALED halos I included with my order didn't come with the 9006 plugs. So I sent them an email and they took care of that.

I went ahead and ordered the premium ones. the price difference between those and the value ones were astounding.

Ok experts! I have some questions. First off I bought a set of retros off of cannonbalt, and im clueless how to put them in (limited electrical experience). And I cant seem to get ahold of him. Anyway I have some pics and hope you all can steer me in the right direction!
now there is a red electrical lead here, and there is one on both sides of the wiring harness. Where do they connect? I have figured out where the orange plug goes into but not the yellow one as well.

This side everything seemed to plug in, except that red lead I mentioned earlier.


However on the other side there doesnt seem to be two small connectors that would connect to the projector, however there is a yellow double connector that doesnt seem to go anywhere?

The yellow double connector is attached to the harness

Grounds. Just connect them to the fender bolts. I hope you have something to seal those holes in the back otherwise those are gonna leak like a bitch.

Thanks! However I think I have determined that it may be the wrong harness...I will think of something to cover them.

Thats the correct harness. If no high beams swap the blue/white wires.

Im just confused that on the passenger side there is no plug ins for the two individual connectors? There is only a double yellow connector that doesnt seem to go anywhere? Other than that It makes sense now. Also there is no blue connector on the passenger side? sorry I am really at a loss here.

i just used a deep socket and a ratchet. just make sure you are using an isolated or semi isolated ratchet or you yank the battery cables before you start

no. the battery post has power so if you are using a metal ratchet as most are you can easily touch the metal of the car somewhere and mess things up. So you should use one that is isolated or has an isolated handle BUT if you dont have those then you can just unhook the battery so you dont have to worry about it
