Phil, I answered you via PM on Saturday about this. You DO have the right power boxes, you just wired them incorrectly. It's big ring and small ring to one white box, not 2 big ring to one box, and 2 small ring to one box. And yes, both the boxes are the same. There's no worry about power draw.

Oh yeah, another thing, Mike you mentioned you buffed out the Umnitza logo at top. While it's not exactly sightly, they are not really visible at all when you put them on. Just throwing it out there for people that may attempt this =)

Look at my picture again, I cannot have a large and small on one of the boxes as it only has TWO connections. I'm seeing if I can get another box which has 4/3 connections so I dont have to run all this wire.

its only the bulb.. .Not a reflector like the E60 had.

I gotta change the low beam/ High Beam to Match. But I gotta take the dam bumper off to change the bulbs

hey, you can fix that easily. U notice how you can see the connections in the box with two plugs right? take one of the plugs from one of the 4 box plugs, de solder the port and put it on the one that is missing it. Really simple to do. U just need a soldering iron. It'll take u headache waiting for the part.

Ahh, my mistake, I totally missed it. That is an odd defect, lol. But like Mike said, you can just do the soldering part in the meantime while waiting for the replacement from Umnitza to arrive. Then just swap it out when the replacement comes (if that makes you more comfortable).

Do you have a picture of it? Thanks.
