Those 2 wires are coming off the relay correct? If so what pins do the go to on the relay?

This whole thread is a big mess, and from what I could tell some stuff isn't wired correctly. The 2 yellow plugs go to your ballasts. This should help significantly:

Here's a great little guide on the harness install, just in case anyone ever needs it.



Here is how to hook up your wiring harness

Here is what get hooked up to what:

1. Connect to Left Ballast input

2. Connect to Right Ballast input

NOTE: 1 & 2 may be reversed depending on where your battery is and how long the
connector cable legs are.

3. Connect to the Positive + side of your battery.

4. Connect to the Negative - side of your battery.

Note: the negative power leg may also be connected to a solid chassis ground.

5. Connect to your car's stock headlight power cable.

Note: This connection can be to either the right or left headlight power connector.

The other headlight connector is no longer used and should be covered in electrical tape or other material to protect the connector ends from the environment.

How it works:

The Headlight power connector (5) powers the relay (6) which provides power
directly from the battery (3 & 4) through a fuse (7) to the HID ballasts (1 & 2).
Now, you just need to figure out the wiring from the ballasts to the lights. It shouldn't be that hard (there are a million diagrams/ how-to's online), but you have a separate high/low beam with these headlights. Not sure if you have to use that sport harness to hook them up. Maybe someone else knows.

As for the halo / LED wires, those are up to you to wire. You can tap into a power source and make them switched, or tap into the parking light harness to make them come on with your park lights, or do away with them and leave them out of the equation.


Also, just some constructive criticism, try doing some research before jumping into a project and just plugging connectors into other connectors that look like they work. It's very likely you'll screw something up going about it this way.

oxy, thanks for fixing this.
I knew it could not have been as difficult as the OP was making it.
I like to read posts just because some are like mini novellas, minus the hot looking women talking in Spanish.
