Default Headlight Replacement Help!! (Please!!)

Hey everyone...


So for my birthday I bought a pair of Helix E-Code S5 style headlights. Before i install them, i look at the connectors for the turn signals and they dont match up and wont fit. Needless to say I am pretty pissed off.... I am currently in the process of trying to get a refund through "Parts4Euro" which NEVER stated on their website that the turn signal had to be re-wired.. If you see this Parts4Euro.... please lets try to come to an agreement upon my refund, you all stated that this would be a direct "plug and play" over the telephone.

For everyone else... I am back on the market looking for a good and reliable pair of headlights with good projectors. Thank you everyone and needless to say I am kicking my self in the A** today.. Doesn't help being a volunteer firefighter last night and running on 4 hours of sleep....

Please help

Looks like whom ever wrote that ad forgot what was on the one I posted. They are the same headlight just differently painted inside.

You can get DEPO ecodes off Ebay for $200 which you can just swap your existing stuff into instead of changing everything over to H1 bulbs

Not really. Sounds like typography error. You just brought it to their attention.
