Trying not to confuse you (or myself), so sorry. Ive been up 22 hours |

My lows was a very tight fit and I had to force it in. Everything was hooked up but not working until I remember reading that you can reverse them because its foreign product. Post Some Pics  |

When I first installed mine I thought they didnt work, then someone told me to flip the connection and presto, the HIDs came on. |

Also, I agree with you that the high beam bulbs are nearly impossible to get in.. |

| | Cadillac Owners Enthusiast Cadillac(s): Cadillac | | | | | Re: HID Installation Sorry it took me to post pics, but I went to a party as soon as I was done installing, and then the next day I stayed at my girls place the whole day - I just got home. The pictures are not taken at my house but instead at the party - I am not that messy. | | Tags: 6000k, 9005, 9006, fog, fogs, hid, hids, high, highs, installation, low, lows, xenon | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
