2) The bulb burned out indicator comes on for about 10 seconds after I turn off the lights. I can live with that but I need to do something about the poor radio reception.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to contact the vendor to see what he has to say.

Question for Lantana TX or anyone who has purchased from this ebay vendor
The vendor has shipped me a new set of ballasts and the radio reception is a lot better. However I'm still having a problem with the bulb burnout indicator. It comes on every time I turn off the HIDs with the engine still running. No problem if I just turn on the parking and fog lights.
I would really appreciate it if you guys that have this kit could confirm that you don't have this problem.
Again HIDs ON to OFF with engine running.
Thank you

My only question/concern is that bulb indicator coming on everytime I turn off the HIDs with the engine runningWhen you think about it maybe its not such a big deal.

This exactly how I mounted the boxes. IF you look at how it all fits together, you will find that there are two spades that have to attach to the stock connector. Black goes to the side of the connector that has two wires. The biggest problem is the spring clip that holds the light in. I figured out a way to install the new lights without removing the spring clip by fishing the the wires through the clip. The clip unhooks and folds up to remove the light. Make sure you don't touch the new light on the glass area. Make sure the light is oriented right and seated correctly before you close the clip. It is hard to figure this out be looking at it. by doing it will become obvious.
Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
i got the same lights. when i installed them first they were only flashing to the side of the car, than i repositioned them and then they were lighting only few feet in the front of the car. THe trick is to pull in a alley during the night, turn them on and just pop the metal pin (don't pull it out all the way). while pin is popped from the bottom the bulb should be lose. Play around with the bulb by twirling it and try to get the right position. After you got it hold it with one hand and with the other pop the pin back in to the slot. Do one light at a time... hope this helps... at first when i got the light i was little dissapointed but i knew there was a trick with the positioning of the bulb. Now the lighting is equal everywhere and i can actually see far away at pitch dark
Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
Got mine in without too much difficulty. I too had the issue where they weren't aligned until I pulled the car out on the street in the dark and played around with them.
Does anyone else notice a black line at the bottom of the beam in the middle on both sides? Just wondering if it was me or if everyone is seeing this as well.
Big THANKS to LantanaTX for finding and posting this.
