Yea, mine came yesterday... Shipped in a mopar box? Blasphemy!

I got mine recently as well, I like the look of them but not to happy about the fit, they wouldn't completely snap into the factory harness, let me know if your guy's fit better, I'm just concearned about them vibrating out of the harness.

It's not an issue, it's been discussed a lot, I know several members who have been running these from the prototype testing and have not had any issues with them coming out.

Glad you all got them, I should be getting mine here in a while!

Yup, they received a bunch of new bulbs to fulfill the back order and shipped them all out in one day! Not bad!

Yeah, they don't fit too well at all. It’s a two part problem - First, the little tab on the outside of the housing is set too far forward to allow it to engage in the clip on the female end. Second, the contacts inside the plug itself aren't allowing the plug to be pushed in far enough to engage the clip. Pretty lame they don’t fit. I am not too worried about wiggling out, rather, I’m worried about moisture intrusion.

You can use silicone grease inside the connector if you are concerned with moisture, this was done on factory lamps in the past, another option would be RTV to seal the connection. I'm expecting delivery of my lamps next week. I hope they are worth the money.

Just electical tape the outside of the connector so no water can get in.

Sneeks20 · 04-09-2011, 05:11 PM

Just installled.

As far as the leds fitting into the housing, i noticed there is a trick to it. The same way u need to twist off the stock bulbs, you need to twist the plasmas once connected to harness and into the housing. Mine will not vibrate out any more. They look awesome. Thank you AAC.

Looks great. I wish I would've saved my money on them and converted to non-RS housing and went with HIDs.

carfansince73 · 04-11-2011, 01:23 PM

Any trick to getting them to stay lit when the headlights are on with the RS packaged cars?
