Spec D Installation Assistance?

I've installed the Spec D headlights and all of the documentation I've seen online is not helpful in terms of wiring the lights (signal, DRL?) and how to swap out HID bulbs. Anyone know of better instructions or have any advice?

Thanks!

Is the gasket from your front bumper a bit off center?

My bumper is all screwed up. And my passenger fender. Someone backed into me working on getting it fixed now.

Nevermind, got them wired up correctly

Now if anyone has suggestions for the HID bulb install that's cool too!

Yeah, it was a lot simpler than I thought.

I'm not sure you need to drill anything. What do you need help on? The wiring or the HIDs?

You do need to drill the back of the projectors if you're going to put D2S bulbs in for HID's. That's what I had to do at least.

OHHH right, my apologies, I thought you meant the actual housing itself. You just have to drill the covers, unless you run with no covers.

how did you wire the HID lights? the connectors dont match up. Did you have to rewire the harnesses? I installed the HIDs but now i cant use the high beam function. I know the Spec D's have a built in high beam flap. I just dont know how to wire it in order to keep the function.
