Disregard.. I just pulled the fuse cover off and relay # 203 had come off completely. I put it in and she fired right up !! Now back to my dumb hi/lo prob... I rather get another kit the plugs in properly before I hack into the OE harness..

Okay. So the green plug is the OEM plug. Gotcha.

Yes the OEM plug is a signal wire. If the harness/relay is not getting 12v from the high beam wire, then your high beams will not work. Since you know that plug isn't in right, I would DEFINATELY suspect that. You can try pushing really hard, or you can very carefully take the prongs out of the DDM side of the connector and push them in the green plug manually by hand. Lastly just cut both plugs off (leaving space on both ends if you want to reattach them later)and hard-wire them in place.

Other than that, check your high-beam fuses. But you've got a 99% chance its that plug.

First things first. I looked into the green plug today with a bit more detail and noticed that the plug was not sitting all the way in.. after messing around with it for a few minutes I noticed there was a small tab keeping it from clicking in.. I used a small pick and "Click".. I checked my hi beams and they worked just fine. Everything is working how it should and the bambi is also working.

I installed the HID fogs at this point, and all remains to be OK. I also received my VLEDS tag led's and put those in aswell..

I went down the street and took a few pics of what the lights looks like. I can barely notice the difference with the fogs on. Its more of a look thing, than functional one.

Pics are not the greatest, but here goes ..

Quite a bit of light there. Good to hear they're working for you.
