Default Anyone have issues with Anzo headlights not matching up?

I have an 06 z track model. stock headlights are shot. I bought a pair of Anzo replacements and was wondering if anyone else is having the issue I have. Apparently the stock plug from the Z will not match up with the plug from the Anzo lights. Is their some kind of adapter I am missing? Anzo says plug them into the back of the bulb housing. This makes absolutely no sense! Any advice would be appreciated before I ship them back and spend a load of coin on factory headlights!

Welcome. Anzo may have sent you no-HID lamps. Get your money back and spring for OEM lamps. They are plug-and-play.

So the anzo's are worthless? I'll gladly sell the old lights. They have moisture in them though. That is why I am replacing them.

I need headlights quick though so I guess I am forced to buy the expensive OEM models. Any one got any other suggestions?

Seems like a hassle and I would be afraid that they would leak again. I live in NC and it is humid as hell here. Lots of moisture in the air down here on the coast.

I don't think I would say the Anzo lights are worthless. They are just non-HID lights and that is the reason the plugs will not fit. They would work perfectly with a Base model from 2003-2005.

Just pull out the harness from the Anzo headlights and replace it with the harness from your 06 headlights. Simple...
