Also, how did you make the connectors to the HID work? Any tips or things to keep in mind when I do mine?
Thanks.

I went with the chrome ones. Connecting the HID'S were pretty straight forward. With the main beams i just cut the connector on the headlights and crimped on female connecters,my HID kit came with male ends.My kits also had a rubber grommet on them so I had to drill a hole in the back cover for the wires to pass through. Make sure you put the bulb and wires through the plastic cover before putting the bulb in the socket. I made the mistake of trying to put the cover on after i installed the bulbs and the wires would not fit in the recommended hole i drilled. If you are doing HID's in the fog lights be ready. They were a bit of a pain in the butt. The room to work is very small. Making a hole in the rubber cover was a bit of a pain,and there is barely enough room to fit the rubber grommet and wires. I tapped the rubber cover to the light and added some silcone around the rubber grommet as some added protection from moisture. The connection for the fog lights are not color coded. You will need an voltage meter to figure out the power and ground. What i did was took my stock head lights and figured out which wire from the fog light connector matched up with the headlight socket and did it the same way with the LED headlights. Any other questions feel free to ask.

JSavinoJR, thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
I installed the HID kits and after a few days the LED bulbs started going off. I have several LED bulbs not working and I am in the process of getting this issue resolved with the seller. I am back to the OEM light for now. The lights look good, but the quality is definitely now OEM. On the other hand, the LED Dectane tail lights look and feel like OEM quality.

Sorry to hear that you had problems with the lights. Mine still work perfectly. Did you get yourself an LED Flasher relay? If you're going to run LED headlights and Taillights,you will need to get one.

Thanks. Good to know yours work fine. No, I did not get the relay. Can you provide me a link to the relay. How do you install it? The tail lights already have the relay attached on the backside.

i think i got it from superbrightleds.com get the one made for euro cars. It's really easy to change. Turn on the turn signals and go under the drivers side and look for all the relays,touch the top of them till you feel the one clicking. Pull it out and put in the new one.
