You should use relays for one thing, don't just connect them to the factory wiring. Even if it says youcan, the factory wiring doesn't have enough "sack" to power em up reliably.

Someone else on this forum bought HID's off ebay. They said that they only lasted about 1 month, and even the wiring was wrong. Not trying to scare you. But it seems like on ebay, if you want HID's you gotta fork over close to 200.

Not true, I paid under 200 for my headlights and fog lights. Just need to know where to look. Also, HidKitsWarehouse.com has some good deals.


That wire set up on the right should be with the bulb, and plug into the ballast. 3 should connect from the bulb to ballast. It should really be a plug-n-play set up. Only thing to mess with on original harness is the plug from the HID to the plug to the original harness.

I'm not familar with the ones you have, they look totally different. Might not be P-N-P and I wouldn't trust getting more into the original harness than just a plug in. IMO

Here's what mine look like..

These are for the fogs, only difference is the two prongs replace the blue plug in on a headlight kit.

Well a decent amount of money though. Some kits are around 50$ on ebay. Those are the ones that don't seem to last.
