I got mine installed. My wife has the camera in her car so I couldn't take pics.

I have two questions though...Does the tC NEED the relay installed? And if so I only got one. And my other question is, what is the little stick that goes to the tip of the bulb? Whatever is around that wire, the dark grey colored stuff, is cracked on one of the bulbs, it didn't fall off or anything, but instead of it being one solid piece, it's two. The bulb still works fine, should I worry about it?

Well I guess that was three questions...

For all intensive purposes, you can run without the relay harness installed and just use the Plug and Play set up. What people usually do when they run it like that is buy those upgraded head light adapters from Autozone for running 100w halogen bulbs. With that they work just fine. The little stick that goes to the end of the bulb is the return wire. It is basically a ground wire. If the ceramic is cracked, it is not a big deal, if the wire itself is broken in half then you have an issue (the light would not even come on) So it sounds like just the ceramic is cracked.

Most people run the Relay harness wires below the radiator support near the hood latch so it is unseen.

Ok, I got the relay hooked up and works great! I got you another customer too! This guy I worked with saw them yesterday and I showed him the setup under the hood today, he's all over it!

Oh, and the bulb with the cracked ceramic still works, and gets bright, it just doesn't seem to have the same hint of blue as the other one...do you think it could be because of the cracked ceramic?

Give it a few nights, the color will settle in, if not, hit us up, we'll take care of you.

If he wants em tell him to hit us up. But ya, he'll probably draw a lot of attention from the police with red lights.
