Ok, I'm in over my head. I've opened up one light and installed the projector.
I must have something wired wrong. I slid the headlight into the car and the angel eyes light up but not the projector or the stock headlight. When I switch back and forth between high and low, I get a very loud click but no lights. When I flash my high beams, the stocks headlight comes on. All fuses are good. Any suggestions?

Ensure that the ballasts wires are connected to the low beam wires and that they are all in good shape.
You have something not connected correctly, but there is no way to tell what without seeing it. Pictures?

I'll send a bunch now. I'll show my ignorance here instead of PM because I can't possibly be the only electrical dunce here!

I see the shroud or a tiny bit different, both have angel eyes, custom engravings and 35 watt hid.

Maybe i'm missing something, but once costs more than the other, does one perform better than the other?

They are all the same platform, thus perform the same. The cost difference is due to both the amount of raw materials and machining time.

The only difference is aesthetic.
