So. I eagerly opened my freshly recieved morrette headlight set expecting to see a compatible system ready to install.... NOT. The sockets are different (small three slot vs. big prong with one at 90*). Not to mention the maze of wires including gator clips and french instructions! Needforspeed says they are sending me a translated version but, my problem remains the incompatible wireing harnesses. Anyone know how I can salvage this mess? I'll have pictures soon to illustrate... :bloated:

Its easy to wire if you are not electrically inclined just bring it to a stereo alarm shop they should have no problem with something like that. I use to work at a shop and could do it if you lived on long island

I've picked up a "plug-n-play" harness from suvlights.com mostly because I'd like to have the stock option due to the questionable legality of H4/H1 optics in the states. Have you ever had problems with the fuzz??

$60 shipped from www.suvlights.com .... check out the "heavyduty headlight wire harness" section... They said that they will ship a 9004 to h4/h1 ready to plug n play.
