Need immediate help with 3BSpec HID KIT (Pics Inside)

I have posted in another thread with not much luck... so i needed to start my own so i could get some pics of my problem....

I have it all outlined in the first pic of what is wrong. I seem to have alot of extra unused wires when i use the relay kit, and im wondering if it is wrong or not.... and if i have everything "mocked" up correctly

Help Me!!!





anyone?

looks to me like you have mutiple option for hooking them up. Are the high and low beams or just low.

yo i have the same kit. you will have extra wires. I have the relay, just hook up the ballasts and bulbs and the stock harness and the relay to the other side, and don;t forget to plug in the power from the car to the actual headlight lol, i forgot to do this and they didn;t come on at first. But you will have two extra wires I believe, I just electrical taped them out of the way.

If you have trouble like I did call up 3B spec, the guys are really nice and actually stayed on the phone with me and walked me through it, great guys.

In the end I realized it was easy and I was an idiot lol.

the blue and black wires are to wire up your other high beam, but I didn;t mess with that, you can if you want.

And there are two harnesses, each ead light has it's own harness and there is an electrical harness coming from the actual car that gives power to the headlight, it plugs into the turn signal port, it's gray I believe, don;t forget to plug that in or you won;t have any power at all.

unless each bulb is low/high which it sounds liek you have which I don;t have, you will need to wire the high beams for one side.

Although I am not exactly sure if you have to wire that kit or it comes prewired.

My kit was low only because I have 1st gen projectors with separate housings for high beams.

I would say wire it like you have pictured leave the other plugs youre questioning unplugged. And see if all works like it is supposed to. They look like another way to wire the lights or it might be like a universal harness for mutiple applications.

Th plugs from the ballasts plug into the the headlights and to the Relay. If you dont use a relay, i belive you dont need to use the other end since it hooks into your stock wiring. I ordered these from 3b Spec not to long ago. Download the instructions, they tell you how to hook it all up.

The large blue peice goes into the stock harness. You have to remove it from the old headlights. The blue/black wire...if your using a HID you shouldn't need the blue wire since its hooked into the HID already. However their instructions say I didn't need the black one, but i did, its a ground wire. The blue is a postiive end.

I was looking at the schematics online and the little blue and black wire coming off the realy is for a capictor in certain dodge aplications you dont need these wires . And it looks to me the other plugs coming off each bulb look like a way to hook it up if youre not using a relay wich you are so you dont need those either.

blue would go to the high beam wire ( pink if i remember right ) , black to a ground. you need to hook these 2 seperate wires up in order to have functional high beams on each headlight

i just wired into the ballasts, plug and play no relay... it was easier and operatic says it will be fine.

But...

i have a bad bulb i guess... the driver side works fine, but the pass side flickers bad like a strobe light. changed ballasts and still flickers...yes i have the drl fuse pulled too... called 3bspec and he is gonna get me a new bulb to try to fix the issue.

thanks for the replies

Relay is quite easy, its just wiring it to the battery instead.

Good 3bspec taking care of you.

It should have enough power either way. The relay is there to prevent from burning up the stock wiring.
