DAMN that sucks man! i guess the postman doesn't like his job too much

hope your bulbs are fine!

and thanks for taking pics of the package bro!
when you take the packaging apart, take a look at the bottom of the bulb as well to make sure its really 65W, it should look something like this pic

wow exactly the same as the pic on the luminics site
thank you so much for taking these pics bro!

btw the iphone4 camera is really pretty nice!

i'm pretty disappointed at the luminicsbulbs.com site how it advertises that we are buying a 55W version.. i wonder if you can complain about it and get anything from them
maybe a heavy duty harness?

now i'm thinking if i should get a heavy duty harness as well
as i've heard on the luminicsusa site that if i use the krypton series.. i should use it with a heavy duty harness as there's increased heat?

hmmm i'm thinking better safe than sorry

go out and try to put it on the passenger side to see if you can take the dust cap off without removing the air filter box!

that way you can take a pic of the JDM yellow on the passenger side and the stock DRL on the driver side!
the passenger side should be fairly simple

You're gonna wanna remove the headlight fuse first. I was installing my led parking lights and accidentally hit the side of the enclosure and my fuse blew. I def learned my lesson lol as i freaked about what happened.

Bigrahizzl lol that's exactly what i think my neighbours are thinking about me
every evening when i pull up my driveway.. i either pop my hood and do stuff
or i'm washing my rims.. or cleaning my windows.. or washing my car.. or taking pics of my car.. or just crouching down and looking at my car at different angles.. or running across the street to look at my car at a distance.. LOL i don't even wanna make eye contact with them lol i don't want them to start asking why i'm so obsessed with my car LOL

thanks for the tip OPTiK!
where would the headlight fuse be? you mean in the fuse box?
so you accidentally hit the side of the headlight housing with your hands and the fuse blew?

The fuse for the parking light is in the engine compartment (behind the drivers headlight). I'd bust out the manual and look through the fuses because there's a fuse that controls all the lights. I hit the led parking light against the side of the hole it goes through and they both turned off instantly (ie fuse blew). I did the passenger side one fine, but twitched on the drivers side and touched the side.

they turned off instantly?
did you have the ignition on or the lights on some how when you were in the process of installing them?
most of us wouldn't be able to see where we're putting the light into as the hood has such tight spaces.. i think we'll all some how touch the sides of the housing some how.. but i don't think ppl mentioned anything about fuses in the DIY. although they do recommend removing the car battery.. perhaps that's the same thing?
