mkulrey13 - Quick question, I ordered the Fog Light kit to convert them to HIDs, looking through the past post and the DIY thread, the kit was all Plug and Play. I opened up the box today to go and install the kit and it seems it is no longer 100% plug and play. The connectors that plug into the stock harness are two prongs without an exterior connector casing. Did the manufacture change there processes to eliminate the connector casing? I am worried about weather proofing and connector retention without having the connector casing. Could you please chime in on this. Thanks.
PS - Everything arrived in perfect condition, so no issues there!

Took keiserX13's advice, even put a little shrink tubing around the exposed terminals, then wrapped them with electrical tape. I would have replied, but I was busy installing! I wish the first time you did something didn't take so long...I feel I could install another set in half the time it took on this first one. Oh well, can't outsmart the learning curve.

Thanks for being a great vendor of the site, this Group Buy was an awesome deal!

You need some night shots! What options are those, black, with gatling 2.0? I'm assuming thats the complete kit right, and not the one you build?

Poking around on theretrofitsource.com I came across one shroud that isn't offered, the MC-R. I love it, but I'm guessing it's took big to fit in our housing? Looks like the ccfl fits inside the shroud, it looks amazing!

Any comments on this Mkulrey13?

Other than that the only good looking one to me is the gatling 2.0

We can get the MC-R shroud and it fits perfectly on the Mini H1. If it fits out headlights im unsure as no one has purchased them.
