hi all. i recently received these and ran into a big problem... its not plug and play~! is there an adapter that will work? do i have to retrofit this as well? i included pics of the oem plug/socket and the helix plug/socket. anybody run into this problem? the pins dont line up into the connectors.

Looks plug and play to me!!

they look like they'll plug in with no problems but it doesnt want to. for people who did buy these before, is the helix supposed to look like that? this is the right headlight socket of the helix, is this how it looks? the oem headlight has more pins than the helix.

Yup, mine were the same.. such a bitch to click in. But they will click.. just keep trying. Make sure to straighten out all the prongs.

for those of you that have these installed, please post various pictures so we can get a feel for the look, fit, finish, etc.

I am considering a purchase, but am hesitant without seeing some good photos.

Get the Valeo Headlamps by ECS, totally plug and play...

If Helix made a badass loook chrome projector WITHOUT angel shits, i would totally buy..
Had Helix projectors on my mk4 gti, chrome, no angels...awesome lights..
