Default HID lights need new harness...or what?

Hello all I just recently put in projector lights in my 04 and plugged em in. Well I can't see chit with em and it's very dangerous to drive at night. What I'm wondering is there a relay I need to put in the stock spot? Or a new harness that I need to install? Any help would be appreciated

go to the Retrofit Source and purchase the HID kit that matches the bulb type.

From your post I'm assuming you have the OEM Halogens installed.

If not then please list exactly what you have installed current state.

You need to make sure you adjust the cut off like you would for regular reflector headlights... Maybe they are aimed incorrectly as well...?

Either way I'd suggest you head to The Retrofit Source and purchase yourself a complete H1 Morimoto HID kit and call it a day...

The problem is you put HIDs in projectors made for halogen bulbs. I'm just assuming here so feel free to correct me but those projector headlights you have are manufactured like the ones on eBay right?

Post some pics and let's see them
