I cut the big o-rings off and just ran the wires under the cover like i did with my HID kit, it still seals fine and looks a lot more stealth.

It's a lot easier to install and deal with routing the wires than the HID kit for sure, and the kit is much better built (i especially appreciate the correct connectors for that attach to the stock wires)

but the bulbs are a BITCH to get in, I had to trim down the seals a lot and the heatsinks are so big that it's hard to get a good grip to rotate them in place, took me damn near an hour to get both in...

but all that said, they look AWESOME, a perfect match for the stock headlights and super bright.

I helped fifthtreetz install his kit, one tip for the LED bulb is that for the passenger side, the two LEDs should be at a 45 degree angle kind of like this \ AND make sure the wires running to the actual LED are facing down. Once you have the positioned like that, it should fit right in then only need to twist to lock it in. Same for driver's side, but LEDs should be 45 degree like this /
