Hmm...somebody didn't read all the other threads about that polarity issue

Hey Sean, if you have problems getting that plug to stay on, there's pix on here of how I took my factory plugs off and put the extra plugs that came with the HIDS on the factory wiring.

And don't forget to read the posts in your original HID thread. That's where I posted about just installing HIDs in my truck and having to reverse the plug..........

Since everyone else is piling on I figured I'd get in on the fun too!

Ok really how in the hell did I ever drive without these!!

This is by far one of my favorite mods so far!! These new HID"s are the bomb!! Thanks guys for everything and as promissed here are some pics! Oh and standby for a little mini write up on how to change the clip around without cutting anything up! Figured it was the least I could do after pulling my DUH!! move!

USMC0311 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 02, 2010, 08:32:05 PM »

OK So here is a mini write up on how to swap that factory clip around

You have to pull off the blue hold down clip, it just has clips on each side!

USMC0311 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 02, 2010, 08:33:28 PM »

Next just get a little pick and stick it in the one side, and you just have to bend down a little tang on the connection itself, do the same for both sides and it will pull right out

USMC0311 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 02, 2010, 08:34:28 PM »

Once you have them out all you have to do is bend that little tang back up before you put it in it's new side so it will hold itself in there.

USMC0311 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 02, 2010, 08:35:26 PM »

Once you bend those back out just slip em back into their new spots and you should feel it click into place and you wont be able to pull it back out.

USMC0311 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 02, 2010, 08:36:19 PM »

Once you have that done just snap the blue retainer back on and you are good to go!!

I can't believe that no one mentioned that it even tells you DDM's website that you may have to reverse the plugs.

Sorry dude, had to go there.

Fowlhunter · « **Reply #26 on:** October 04, 2010, 05:49:06 PM »

Nice write up and congrats on the HID's, I truly love mine as well!!!!! I never had the problems with needing to reverse the plugs but I used the relay harness for all of mine.
