Did you end up having to pay for shipping to their manufacturing errors, or are they picking up the tab? I guarantee if they have to pay for it, they'll be a lot more careful for each set made after that.

Can anyone tell me how can I keep my original ballasts,wires & D2S bulbs to use with these lights?
I have an extra set of 750iL headlights w/ D2S HID's in them...i'd love it if I could remove them and use an adapter to install them into the X.

Seller paid for returned UPS shipping so I hope next set will be better.

Still dont know how can I retrofit OEM wiring & D2S bulbs in these to replace H7... but I think I will come up with something just need to get the new headlights back.
