Abused subject - Are these ebay headlights any good, and these angel eyes?

[Fly Guy]

Ok, mine just came in and I am having the same problem with the AE's. How do I connect them? I have two plugs that are just free with nothing to attach to. All the lights work correctly except the AE's.

Well if the plugs you refer to are the 2 first pics then the first one is the AE's power and the second one is the ground...if you removed your old headlights yourself you should have at least seen where the second plug goes because the OEM ones have it, at least xenon ones do. They go on the metal base under the low beam (on xenon models this is where the ballast is located) theres a piece of metal that stick up from the base and this is where this goes. As for the first one if your X is US spec you should have that plug, check your old headlight to see if you have that plug over your high beam, if you don't then you need a relay kit to power them. I saw them on ebay for around $20 and the instrucctions are here on the site, it's a DIY job...good luck!

Typical of Umshitzna to charge more for the same part. I love how they have to bold "reasonable" and give their mission statement, like anyone gives a crap.
