I have a lot of experience installing spyder lights on a number of different cars. It is not uncommon for them to require you to remove wires from the plugs and rearrange them. Knowing spyder that probably wasn't in the instructions... if it even came with instructions. Also from experience you might want to put a thin bead of silicone around where the lens connects spyder lights are pretty netorius for condensation problems.

Are those Spyder's or Sonar's? I ordered the latter from Umnitza.com, I hope they're fine!
Cheers, A. |

I just installed mine and found out the wiring was wrong. Directions were in the box (that I found later) explaining how they worked. I had yellow-to-yellow and a green-to-green wire connection. The paper explained if you were in the U.S., the wires should be yellow-to-green/yellow-to-green. If you were not U.S., it would be y-to-y and g-to-g. If your wiring is messed up, see if what I stated helps, if not I'm sorry it wasn't useful information for you.
