Need help on installing HID kit.

JDM_civic · 09-12-2006, 04:29 PM

So yea i was installing my HID kit today and i noticed only one of my healights turns on

. My hid kit has the ignitors built in the ballasts. I noticed that my relay harness( the one connecting to the battery) only brings one connection to plug it in the stock bulb harness (the original bulb connector ) i tried switching the ballasts and bulbs to see if it had to do with one of them but they seem to work fine. so my question is does the relay harness bring 2 connections to connect to the stock connectors or just one?

any help is appriciated

p.s im new to this forum

Odd. When I ordered my harnesses from XenonDepot, they gave me two. Two separate lines that connect into the OEM harness, and then into a relay to fuse to the battery/ground.

So, yes, I had two connectors.

is there any way i can cut the original stock harness to try and connect it to the other connector since i have one? or should i just buy another new relay harness?

Umm...no, I wouldn't do that. I'm no electrical expert, but I don't think the relay and fuse would be better off if you did that. Where'd you get the kit? Ask them to see if they'll supply you another one.

Only one connection to the vehicle harness is necessary. I've got mine plugged in on my driver's side. The other one, I just sealed up.
