Okay.. Looking good here. I got the trunk handle (bezel) gate done last night, dry it up 24 hours, installed and working great. Now I'm on the LED surgery. So far its going slow, smooth and happening. My question is in getting rid of the HiD socket-wire-ballast. Looks like its gonna take some time to get this out in one piece. Should I tear it apart or should I cut the wire clean right in the middle and kiss it bye-bye? see pics.... The new LED light fits right on the money.. No gasket or o-ring in the package??? edited: Wire connection. I ran my 60 watt soldering iron for connections, I just cut the connecting wire, slide the 2 LED wire terminals and drank some silver solder just in seconds.. PS: Let me know if I need to cut the ballast wire so I can remove the old hid socket
