If so do i then just have to make the harness work or do they plug in like a normal light. I know alot of people change to the raptor sstyle light i just dont think they are that bright in my opinion. Thank you

Guy from work did headlights and fog light kit from 150leds.com said it was simple plug and play, one splice was needed.

OP is wanting to go from OE LED to HID. It is the opposite.

I have to check sometime and make sure they are turned on. Other than checking to make sure they are adjusted correctly there is not much we can do to these lights. Curious if anyone else has suggestions for us bc I am just about to the point of pulling them out and maybe replacing them with something like morimoto's.

Bradtown, I bought a set of projectors and I’m going to wire them up myself and put 6K HID bulbs in and they should be good with light I have had projectors in the past in other cars so hopefully the wiring won’t be to much of a pain.

Just curious what changes in FORScan are needed? I am in the process of doing a retrofit into aftermarket housings with some bi-projectors in low and just a decent LED bulb for high, cheers! and thanks
