LED license plate lamp installation help
Hey all. Purchased these (http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307009) not too long ago and they came yesterday. Went to install them and quickly realized an obvious problem: I cannot get the lamps to plug into the car "harness". I can't seem to find a way to connect the two (even using the supplied adapter). Is there anyone out there who has purchased these and installed them that can please lend me some help. Maybe I am just completely incompetent haha. Thanks in advance!

On the back there should be 2 different hookups, do neither of them work? Contact them directly, I was about to order from them but I just bought bulbs for the lights and switched them out instead but I think I messed up the metal piece that holds the housings snug cause mine act like they're about to fall out so I may end up getting some like you got.

Neither of the hookups appear to work ... I sent them a PM not too long ago but am still waiting for a response. They advertised "* Plug&Play easy installation." so it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. I also went to their site to inquire about returns and it said all "Any and all returns/cancelations will result in a 20% restocking fee, no exclusions. If you purchase an item that is not compatible with your automobile, you are still liable for the restocking fee." Bah I hope I get this figured out!!

Ok! Got it figured out! In order to complete this install you have to remove the whole OEM housing, unscrew the socket and bulb from the housing, remove the bulb then plug in the adapter to the socket. Didn't figure that step out until this morning. Also it should be noted that you have to remove the black foam weather stripping from around the new housing in order for it to "click in".

Loving that M! I should've gotten an M... Those lights look great. Definitely need to get a set of those.

I just got the same LED lights as yours. How did you pop off the original lights? In the instructions on the box, it points to a slot that you stick your screwdriver in and it should pop off the old lights. My old lights have nothing like that. Did you just pry the OEM lights off?
