Ok another IMPORTANT question. On that wire harness, it has that big blue plug. Does that plug in on the passenger side or the drivers side? I have one blue plug on the drivers and one on the passenger. This is needed ASAP please.

If your talking about where the factory bulb plugs in then it doesn't matter which side. I think i used the passenger side factory bulb plug to the harness just because it was closer.

Well I got most of it done. I got the harness in and the projectors bolted in. Its aimed about where it should be. The shrouds are a MAJOR PITA. I have to notch them on the top and bottom so they will fit inside the housing. Just have to cut the shrouds, splice in the CCFL's wire up the high beams, and seal them up. Gonna do that tomorrow.

Man the shrouds are the hardest part of this whole project. Almost got one shroud to fit. Hopefully the next one goes easy.

Alright guys all done:






All I have left to do is call and figure how to wire up the CCFL's and if it matters which wires go into which plugs for the high beams.
I will try to get some night pics tonight.

very nice!!!!!

high beams are a simple +/- system. Find out which is which and wire it up. Same for the CCFLs. I'll add you to the list

So does the CCFL's have a ground wire? I spliced them to the running lights and ran one wire to a ground and they didn't work. That's what I was told to do. Also for the high beams, both wires are exactly the same. Does it matter which wire goes to which of the 2 slots on one high beam plug?
