Exclamation Installing HIDs Super Urgent!


Here is my ballast...Red male end and black female.


Here is my light...Blue male end and Red female end.


Here are some wires that came with it...one end that is plastic and the other end has a red and black wire with metal endings.


This is just some connector piece that came with it.

Ok...here we go. Starting with the first and second pictures, I'm going to plug the red wires together, and the black and blue wires together. Then I'm going to take those extra wires and plug them into the empty hole on the ballast. Then I'm going to use that plastic connector and somehow connect the wires that come from my projectors to the red and black wires (the ones with the metal endings) that are now coming from the ballast. Is this correct? This HID kit is going into the 2nd gen. projectors. Is this right? Thanks!

Did you get any help on this? Or should I say, did you install them yet? Cuz I could help you. But what I just read made my head hurt.

My friend and I just installed the ZZP HID Kit. I was super easy and looks great. All the harnesses plug directly into the stock harness and it only costs $100. Here is the link

Are they really that bad that you can tell they haven't been aimed yet? They've only been in for a few days and I haven't had the chance to aim them yet.

Yeah...I put the passenger side in today in 30 minutes. Of course this time I knew what I was doing. It really is a simple process...now I just need them aimed apparently.

Yeah...I caught that. I think my side-to-side aiming is fine. I just need to get the up and down. It won't be hard...I've aimed lights before. I'm just glad I finally got my HIDs! I'll post up some pictures tonight maybe since they're both in.
