Boy, yes as mentioned before in this thread, we are building about 12 retrofits right now. Will take a bit to complete.

Yes, got them installed, looking great (minus the small gab between the bumper) and I'm happy as hell! Can't wait until night fall lol.

I also struggled to find the best place for the wires behind the retrofits. I don't want water damage, there's quite the gap and I wash my car weekly so I don't want any issues with things shorting out. I know the instructions really only stress the importance of the relay, but the wires are connected to the relay so I'd like to keep those safe too.

Any tips tricks or advice to keep the wires dry?

Edit***

So I was gonna take pictures for you guys, but I noticed my driver side halo doesn't work, but my passenger side does. Don't know what I did, but it worked for a bit then stopped all the sudden. Any Ideas?

question... my friend put LED backup (reverse) lights in his car, and it actually made it worse.. he could not see a thing backing up... Are the LEDs for reverse for looks? or does it give you better visibility than the stock bulbs?

Mine are much brighter then stock but there not really ment to see when backing up. Yes it gives enough light to see but there really not ment to allow you to see perfect when backing up.

Slide all the wires all through the frame rail and into the engine bay, then ziptie it all together. You can try to mount the ballasts in the engine bay if you want. Make sure the relays are in there if nothing else is. On my retros I have all my wires going straight from the back of the headlights into the engine bay. Nothing gets wet. CCFL inverters are stuffed into the headlights.
