When they work they are AWESOME. Unfortunately, this is the fourth problem in four months.
First, I had the perfect day planned out. A mean group ride, come home to few adult beverages, Game 5 NBA Championship and MotoGP on the DVR.
The ride was sick, perfect weather, carving corners... it could not have been better. About two blocks from my condo I see in the reflection in the bumper of the car ahead of me that my lo beam is not working. F'ing AGAIN? REALLY?
Long story short, another bad connection. Installer's fault bad connection? Not IMO. The connections are so cheesy I taped them to prevent this type of problem. So, I'm thinking I could be watching basketball and drinking beer, but OK atleast I do not need parts. PIA for sure, but I can manage.
Until now, I guess that I pushed the prong in crooked and bent/collapsed the receiverr? Not too sure but now the prong won't go in.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? It sucks cause now I created a problem with the OEM harness. I tried to peer down in there with a flash light and straighten the receiver gently with a dental tool, but it is TINY and I can not see jack.
Any brilliant ideas on how to fix the receiver would be great. IMO these HID's suck. If I am not mistaken the vendor typed in a thread that these specific connectors would be upgraded and obviously that didn't happen because I just bought them (The HID's.) in February.

Thanks in advance.
