Default Retro Solutions can suck it!

Anyone who has installed retro solutions 55w slim digital or anything similiar on our vehicles please post some pics of the wiring! I can't figure this out and I'm frusterated beyond belief! I was given crap for instructions, none of which showed any wiring diagrams nor does it have anything to do with the specific kit I was given! Pretty crappy if you ask me. Also, I went on their site and found a wiring diagram and there are parts that do NOT match up with my kit so I feel like I'm SOL! Pretty much on the verge of having these installed (if that's possible) or returning it and ordering a new hood!

end rant

haha anyways,
I'm guessing your kit looks like this?

Isn't it just as simple as a ground and power? Or since it's plug 'n play, shouldn't it just plug directly up to your OEM headlight harness?

I went with a cheap ebay HID kit, but installation was a breeze.

It's all plug and play. Take a picture, or describe, what you don't know where to connect.

They may have sent you the wrong kit.

If you can deal, just cut n' splice.
If not, give them a call, have them send you a new set.



Also,
is this for your fogs? or straight headlights.

That image is only the ballast...there is a wiring harness that is the only place i'm having issues with.

Give them a call and let 'em know they sent you the wrong wiring harness.
Or just splice them over.

Grab a voltage tester and find your ground/hi-beam/low beams.

If the plug on the kit does not match your plug from your headlight harness then you have the wrong kit
