Help with Retros!
Hey guys, I have everything hooked up to where it looks like it should go lol but I'm only getting the turn signals not the actual headlight. Here's a picture I know it's kind of hard to see. Fuses are good too.

i know this sounds kinda stupid but look at your relay harness. you should see those little green leds in it lighting up. i had to hit mine a few times before the connections inside the relay actually touched.. is this from theretrofitsource??
edit: nevermind it doesnt look like the same relay as mine

My guess is you don't have it grounded well enough or check your red power wire and make sure that is properly connected and tightened down. What did you use for your power? Also, when building the headlights, did you test the headlights/hids to make sure they worked? Not trying to sound condescending, but I am trying to cover all bases.

here's what i did
for the blue plug, it had to be on driver's side and i had to take out the orange and red?? pins and switch them around...i left the middle one alone. i have only regular lights with no high beams. if i had the time, i could switch the hi and low connections from the relay and possibly switch the blue plug again, but i'm too lazy and i doon't need hi beams

So I unplugged the blue piece and one of the pins was bent. I ran into a bigger problem though. I was tightening the fuse post down and I guess my grizzly strength was too much, the **** snapped off and the car won't start. My ******* luck I tell you! Time to get raped by the dealership

Ill find out tonight or tomorrow. The ring on the end of the wire that has to go over the fuse post snapped off so i only have a little bit of metal left. Im gonna see if i can fit it under the bolt if not ill have to head to my buddies house and solder it back on.

if its bad go to a mom and pop hardware store and you should be able to get a replacement without buying a whole pack (home depot and lowes will have them too but in a 10 pack or some ****) then pop off the nylon cover solder that on (or crimp cover and all) and re slide the nylon back over
