hey sorry your having trouble.

It may say plug and play but dont believe everything you read my father would say.

I have been working on cars professionally for 30 years and I can promise it is rarely plug and play with replacment non genuine parts.

There are simply too many models to ensure it's possible everytime.

Pull your lights back out one at a time and check color codes first that the wire colors are matching from your plug to the car.

If they are the same on both sides then you need to start checking the wires in your new lights to your old ones that they are going to were they are meant to.

It may sound difficult but its an easy fix

take a big breath and take your time and follow the wires slowly and you'll find the fault

remember the car is right!!!

its the headlights that are wrong
and it could be simply two wires or an earth that are the problem

If you bought the headlight from Umnitza, just ask them to replace the light.

im pretty sure they are ignoring my calls now at first they said they were trying last 3 days no reply or calls accepted, i even suggested to them send new headlights and they said they would get back to me

but i did find the problem with the left headlight the xenon was plugged in wrong and for the AE's on the passenger light i just ran a wire from the left side, no left turn signal and i dont think the eyebrows are on either

subpar product from a supposedly reputable company, we live and learn

Are those OEM Headlights? Although listed as PnP, The wiring for the pins may be wrong. I had a similar issue with a so called "PnP" headlight adapter and had re-rewire the adapter.

Please call 877 486 6489

We've provided you several emails describing the steps and also have taken the time to go over those things with our tech while on the phone with you.

If you continue to have issues, please do call us - for 3 straight days we've had containers dropping into the warehouse, so all hands on deck and took a little too much time getting them into the shop.

yes, sometimes the adapter needs to be adjusted based on a miswire from the factory. We can't test for that ahead of doing the work we do on the lights, and having shipped over 30 sets of these custom made lights to people, this is the first time this has happened.
