And believe me, I have bought two kits from him, one kit a year or two ago and another kit a couple weeks before this group buy started, everything is top notch and high quality parts and if you try to price all the parts out, you will not find them for less than $300 just for parts, and he is charging less than $100 more for all the labor of putting everything together and getting all the parts together for one great package, all other places were charging $750-$900 for the same type of set up, you guys are getting a great deal, a few weeks are worth it, I promise you will not be disappointed, both of my rx7's have TurboIIrotary hid conversions in them and they are awesome!!!

Okay, apparently the wire harness has the relay built in. Installation guide can be found here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/diy...ess-guide.html

I got mine the other day and will probably be installing them sometime next week. So far, they look pretty good and the extra equipment looks to be pretty solid. Only issue I am seeing is that one of the headlights has some crusty looking black flakey stuff in it while the other is perfectly clear / clean. It is definitely on the inside of the lens... I was thinking about hitting it with compressed air to blow it loose then immediately following up with a shop-vac to try and suck it out...

No luck with getting the black flakes out. Not thrilled about it but they seem to be stuck in the glue used to put the headlight back together.
Ran into another problem I don't know if anyone else is having... Figured I would go and install the lenses today and worry about the wiring next week (I never drive it at night and barely drive it during the day). Took off my old lenses to find out that the screws that hold the lens retaining bezel are too short to fit with the new thicker lens in the kit... Guess I will hit up Home Depot next week and try to source some longer screws and possibly some nylon spacers to make everything fit correctly. Just getting longer screws will just bend the bezel too much and I don't want it to break.

One of mine had condensation in it. I'm hoping that will go away after a bit of time...
Also one I had them on I now found out my headlights were soooooo misaligned and that was causing my lack of light problems.
These are awesome. So glad to be able to see at night now!

They should have vents built in on both sides of each housing towards the top. Some condensation is normal, but non vented units will have a recurring condensation problem which will turn into actual water in the housings over time if they are not in place. It will be worse when temps change (at night) and seasons change. Hopefully the vents have been added and it's a temporary problem.
#189
It should go away the housings are completely sealed and I do a water test where I put them face down in water to check for leaks. It has something to do with pressure difference and the housing don't have vent holes molded in them. If you want to get rid of it fast take the bulbs out of the housing and stick the housing in the oven for 10min at 200°. It shouldn't take that whole time but the condensation should dissapear. Let it cool then reinstall.

No, it's got to be waterproof... we create our own 90 degree vent and add that to the housing... you have to be careful with the design or during the rainy season water can enter the vents if not designed correctly. But yeah the vents are very much necessary to equalize pressure/temp. Some condensation is unavoidable (especially in corners) but the vent placement and size are important to create flow/circulation and allow a place for the moisture to go. We also account for dust, by using dust filters.... there's quite a bit of work that goes into the vent design etc.
