HID problem

Who here has had a problem attatching your relay harness to your oem headlight harness. It doesnt fit and i dont know what to do. This is the only thing stopping me from putting them in myself.

show me a picture of what you are talking about. HID's are VERY easy to hook up if you know anything about wiring and electrical systems.

you dont even really need to know how to hook up anything electrical, all the fitting only fit in one way. usually the kits are plug and play. did you make sure that you got 9007?

Relay has 2 large gauge wires, red goes to your battery post, black goes to ground.

it will then have 2 plugs that go to your ballasts.

it will then have a pair of source wires, or a source plug.

these wires are what "trips" the relay,
they will either plug into your stock harness,
or you will have to splice into your stock harness.
so that when your headlights turn on, instead of your stock harness supplying power to the bulb...
instead its sending a signal to your relay, which then allows power to flow to your ballasts.


I hope that makes sense for you?

yep that would work.

your relay will require power and ground from your stock harness.
since your stock harness has 3 plugs, (1 for high power, one for low power, one for ground)
you will have to figure out which is which.

then the power goes to your lowbeam power, and ground to ground of course.
