^ I got my Apexcone Raptor kit today
I've done the passenger fog....no error. I've also read other ppl's posts saying how you DON'T need the Error Cancelers (which is greatt cuz they cost $40 for 2, and I would need 4).Idk how I'm gonna do the driver's side b/c there is no space. I realllllllly don't want to take off the bumper, anybody have advice?
I'm gonna do the lo-beams and driver's side in the AM

Can't you just take off the mesh and then take off the fog housing?

It will probably be easier to just go from directly underneath for the driver side. You're going to have to lay on your back but there should be plenty of room if you take out the front wheel well and lower front engine panel.

I got my fogs in......jacked up the car, and some how I was able to snake my hand up between the Windshield Wiper Fluid and the bumper to put the ballast on the crash bar
I've moved on to the lo-beams, but I'm kinda stuck (and I feel retarded lol).......
You're supposed to plug the Red and Black grounding wires into the plug that the OEM bulb went into......So what do I plug into the Ballast?
I've been looking at it.....and I still can't figure it out......
*edit: wooooooow I got it. Another wire just goes from the bulb to the ballast.....can't believe that gave me so much trouble lol. Now I need to secure the bulb into place...............

Folks, have a question about my install.
Did everyone just reuse the silver metal clip to secure the H7/HID bulb?
Did you have to adjust it a bit or did you just tighten down the two torx screws to secure the clip?
I'm just being a little careful. Don't want to damage the clip.
Thanks!
