no, this will be the second time I've done an HID install. I remember how to do it so it shouldn't be too hard

The shipping box, it looks like something heavy was placed on it and it's bent on one corner, it also looks like someone tried to open it.

Ok first off, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a new bulb

Secondly I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I need to trim down the tabs on the H11.

On the flip side, the headlights went in fine.

Most H11 bulbs you need to reseat the gasket as its not put on properly at the factory.

I flipped the gasket on the passenger side light and it locked into place so I flipped the other one but it still isn't locking into place.

Mr. Mkulrey, I need you HID guru assistance, my stock fog light harness wont support my HID (Driver Side only) It works when I put in the stock halogen bulb in but when I hook up my fogs to the ballast and then plug it into the OEM fog light harness is sounds like it's shorting out.
