Ah I see. You can't pull it out the back. I guess you'll have to use a vice and big old plumber's wrench! LOL

this is exactly what Slick said... i got some tools but not the vice... traveling around the world with your own vice - crazy... usually our shops have couple of them mounted, so i never needed a personal one... try to explain to the airline lady, that your bag weighs 150 pounds because you have a vice in it!!! lol...

this set has bigger ballasts tha what i used to have in my 4.6

they are bright indeed, almost as bright as the new AEs... in my case, the ballasts were dying all the times... they are only $4.50 a piece, and i set them up, so i could replace them without taking the lights out...

here is a pic of 4.6is in Costa Rica with the CCFLs on and the xenon - you still can see the AEs... granted, it was a rainy day...

hi,

thanks for reply,

so based on the info that i have read ,like the one you had in the picture,the red wire will go to the side daytime light,but from my understanding,when side daytime is on and the xenon is on also ,then angel rings should come on also?

now there is no way for the rings to light on separate in the day time? and the xenon to be off?

i am little confuse what in where the wire should go for proper install...

thanks
