Yea i started doing the shrink wrap because many said the plastic box took a calculus equation to get it to fit. I will admit it was a tight fit. I talked to a few people and they really liked the hardened shrink wrap. So i started using it.

Took longer because I used auto loom to make it look stock. You cant tell that it is there at all. I had awesome service from Chris as well. Thanks! Great job creating an innovative product.

Thanks i appreciate it! Yea thats why i started with the shrink wrap. Glad it all worked out!

Camaroross,
The P n' P connectors on the circuits doesn't fit, you used the wrong part on kit. OEM is similar but smaller, prongs closer together, lock tabs on side where your's are on top.

Did the install, unfortunately the Halo's are not working also. I'm sure its something small, but if anyone can help me trouble shoot, I would appreciate it.

I found that also, we just pushed the prongs closer together then plugged them into the factory connector. It did fit, but as of now, my halo's aren't working, so it is possible this could be the reason.

I had the same problem with mine that could be why mine didn't work also. Is there a way I can get the correct plugs sent to me or do I have to send you the kit back and you give me a new one?

All you have to do is look inside the plug and bend the prongs in toward the middle.....they are just slightly wide. They changed the design of the plug. Do that and they will fit perfect.

Ah okay I did that but it didn't turn on. I'll call you tomorrow when I try to set it up again.

In the picture where you connect the stock plug to the Plug n play they connect easy. Where mine stretches the little tabs on the side. How come you couldn't put that on the ones you shipped? just a question

No problem will do

skoot3r · 04-21-2009, 12:27 PM

So I re connected everything made sure the connections were made and still nothing. I know there was a current going through because that Plug n Play was HOT when i touched it. Could it be that my bulbs are bad? I tried to give you a call a few min ago but it said the " pager number was invalid?"

Thats odd pmed you back not sure why it would say that when you called....

msile · 04-21-2009, 08:04 PM

Put me down for the right plugs as well please.

AMJ_77 · 05-01-2009, 08:57 PM

Got my kit and today and went to install it and this is what I saw!! The blue cable I noticed as soon as I took it out of the box. I tried to put it back into the slot but there was no way I could make it stay. The black one fell off before I even took it out of the box! That was easy enough to put back in but when I finished installing it the kit wouldn't work. Needless to say I am quite frustrated.

After starting the car up I also heard a pop! Nothing happened that I can see but I suspect something happened in the little yellow taped box...

Here are the pics.

I took this first pic after I tried to force it back into its slot. Never really worked.

AMJ_77 · 05-01-2009, 09:00 PM

Can you please PM me camaross, I am quite frustrated now and I am uninstalling it to put it back into the box as I couldn't get it to work. I am sure this was just some type of hiccup so I look forward to getting this resolved with you!

absix · 05-17-2009, 10:29 AM

AMJ, did you resolve this issue? Same thing happened to me today

tabolau · 06-11-2009, 03:48 AM
