HID install stalled

did you check that the mounting points are all flat and you are inserting it correctly? Usually all this stuff is standard industry wide.

if you can take pictures of the contact areas it would go a long way in helping us help you

Ah I have that problem all the time.. the more frustrated you get, the more it won't go in. I would wait until it cools off a little bit and try it again man. Hope you get well soon too

Invoking Senior Moment Rule. Should have taken a picture of headlight bulb orientation rather than relying on a mental note. I was trying in install bulb 180 degrees out of original orientation. DOH! Installed HIDs without relay harness and didn't work. Will install relay harness and report back.

Lol ahh don't you hate when that happens ! But alright.. at least we now know the relay is necessary. Thanks for keeping us updated !

In the process of installing relay harness I discovered that the kit I was supplied with is for a straight install, there is no provision to install the relay harness. Called OPT-7 and their mail box in not functional at this time so I had to send an Email. Disappointed to say the least. I will update as to their customer service.

Darn.. real sorry this is becoming a hassle.. at least future potential buyers will know what their dealing with if they choose to go with them. I would be pretty upset my darn self

Watched a U tube video of a HID install without a relay kit. Simple Plug and Play. Reinstalled my kit and both bulbs worked while sitting on radiator support. Thinks changed after I installed bulbs into headlight unit. One side works no matter what I change. Bulbs, ballasts work on one side. I am going to return.

At this point, it's not worth the hassle so you may as well return them and try another kit or go stock.

Called OPT7 yesterday. Phone message says "due to uptick of emails" replies may take some time and phone messaging is still not working. Reply via email as you can't leave a message.

Sorry for your pain. So frustrating when things should just work !

Maybe they sold a bunch of those kits and peeps are calling to say "what the heck" ?

That's a real aggravating situation. Especially at this point when you just need to do a return and call it a day.

I was just reading a few of their amazon reviews and they're not exactly known for their customer service. Hope OPT7 comes through for you.

Got an email from OPT7 with a return postage from USPS. Mailed back my kit and was refunded in 2 days. Nice.

Sweet ! Glad to hear. How long did that take ... ? I hadn't checked on this for a little lol
