When you take out the h1 bulb in ur gen 1 projectors there is a positive blue wire on the top of the bulb and a negative black wire attached to the bulb housing.

You connect the red wire from the hid bulb to the blue wire mentioned above
you connect the black wire from the hid bulb to the black wire mentioned above.

understand?

The nubs should line up, I had to dremel mine a bit to get it to work correctly.

Just try not to crack the insulation on the bulb return wire (I did)

so did you dremel it so its a huge rectangular hole? cause the way the bulb slides in now there is no way the nubs line up cause the return wire has to go in that smaller hole while the bulb fits through the other.

bump, for the nubs to line up the return wire pretty much has to be facing up, but the wire hole is to the left. sooo lost.
