Thanks. I guess I have to pull the intake filter out to check.

Np, the wires I'm talking about are very difficult to get to. It's inside the HID compartment. If you open the HID cover and look straight into it, it would be located near the bottom. I don't think you'd be able to reach the clip by hand. I use pliers to pull on the wires and simultaneously another tool to unclip it from the plug. It's like performing surgery.

Took it back to the stereo store I used to work for and my friend used a multi-meter to check the wiring. Works like a charm

If anyone's interested and buys one of the modules, I'll go and check the color codes.

I assume your HID's flash on when you do this? If so, do you have any concern about damaging them over the long term?

If by "flash" you mean illuminate the high beam of the bulb, then yes it does as I have to flick the headlight stalk twice to open the door.

I'm not really concerned about long term issues as I have the 7/100 warranty. Also, I had it installed over 2.5 years on the 3 without any problems
