Mine were straight plug and play but I bought mine over a year ago and when I bought them I actually called and ordered them over the phone so I could tell the person what truck I had so they could send me the right stuff. Sorry to hear that you are having all these troubles.

Gary C. how did you make out? Im looking to order HID's this week and cant decide between HIDXTRA's or DDM's.
Can anyone that has HID's please let me know what kit you have and what you had to do to install it, like relay harness or error eliminators. Thanks, Ron

More than a little irked that they didn't send the right connectors in the first place, and that their ballasts are causing all kinds of interference with my TPMS. The kit that I bought on E-Bay went in without a hitch and works flawlessly. Personally, I'd never spend another dime with HID Extra, but others have had excellent experiences.
Just curious, where are you in upstate? I'm in the Saratoga area.

After I re-disassembled the grill and lights to take pictures (at their request) I sent the pictures and a day or so later they said they would be sending the required pigtail. I'm still waiting...

Sorry youre having trouble, I think they sent you the wrong kit. IVe installed 20-30 kits from them and havent had an issue with fittament. However thier Ballasts suck! Im currently looking for a new place to shop.

at least you got a capacitor, when i ordered them they sucked from about a month in. multiple eamil and long distance phonecalls to wait on hold, still to no avail. tried a couple different fixes, burnt up relays and ordering a cap from other vendors, finally just threw it all out. crap. you pay for what you get.

Ive stayed off of the HIDExtra threads but i have installed 7 of these kits with no issues whatsoever. Mine being on the longest at 2 years. Whats also odd is all the kits i have installed have all been plug/play and when the one of the kits didnt come with a capacitor, their customer service was great. Sorry to hear your having issues
