Okay, the relay harness you have there in the picture is for Bi-Xenon bulbs, the blue plug, the one that says 9004/9007 socket will plug into where your original bulbs plugged in. Obviously the red wire with the fuse in it will hook straight to the battery + side. The other plug, the one that says HID Ballast in the picture will plug into the ballasts that you get with your kit. There are 2 of those on the harness, you can see the other one in the upper right of the picture. The the little tiny plug that says Type B High Beam, that one is to switch the Bi-Xenon bulbs from low to high.

I hope that helps.

You should also have a read through THIS THREAD. It has some good info in it.

I get all of that Prototype but is what confuses me is that there is only one blue plug to plug the lights to, shouldn't there be 2? That's really the only part that i am confused on.

Also I read alot on kits and how they install and even ventured into youtube and all i got from 3days of "homework" is confused.



Thanks for the info and help on this guys and or gals I'll let ya know how it goes.

The kit should have two of those...one for each side.

No you only need the one harness. The blue plug will only plug into one some of the existing headlights.. It only needs to connect at all to act like a trigger to activate the relay to send power from the battery to the ballasts.

This is the tutorial i followed yesterday while installing my HID and relay. Took me like 20 minutes to install just because it was my first time. Easiest tutorial on youtube. i can take pictures as well if you need them!
