Angry if u bought the xenon depot kit please help

i got my kit in the mail yesterday. and first thing i noticed that it didn't come with the rubber gromment that this guy had https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=192254 and i was a lil dissapointed that it came with a huge ignitor. on top of it the wiring harness is different from the xenondepot kit that is in this installation map that hey provided me. so i am completely lost and wonder if any of u guys that have installed the kit could help me out. yes, i did call them and left them a message even emailed them to call me, but i never got a call back. so somebody please shine some light on me TIA.

Did it not have any grommets? The grommets I received need to have two additional holes punched in them for the factory harness wires which are inside the housing. I cut and tinned those leads but some have pulled the contacts out of the plastic connector.

steve at xenondepot finally got in touch with me and agreed to mail me the gromments, on that note i have to say steve you're a good man now i have to figure out how to wire everything up. he even told me that the wireharness is different from the instructions, so that would need to be updated.

I was happy with the Xenon Depot kit, but didn't need any grommets for my installation. Where are you drilling holes at? I just brought the XD harness across with the factory harness.
