Xenon Depot Install Help!!

I just recieved my Xenon Depot HID kit off another member. Now my question is everything plugs into one another fine, but where it is suppose to connect to the stock headlight harness i only have ONE plug on the kit to be able to plug in to the stock harness. Now with the Xenon Depot kit does it plug into the stock headlight harness in only one spot or does it indeed need to be plugged into both/two of the headlight harness as well? Im a bit lost with this lonely plug, does it plug in only once and work that way then?

It only needs to be plugged into one of the stock headlight harnesses.

if its the xenondepot 9006 kit,it should connect harness to relay to ballast to bulb. on each side. thats how it is on their extreme kit.

the wire harness for custom lightz retros use one plug and the other is taped up.

Each headlight plugs into the relay (like you already stated), then the relay plugs into one of the factory headlight harnesses...you choose, either one should work. I used the driver's side because it was easier to get to.

thanks man....I just got off the phone with Xenondepot directly....very very informative i tell ya....It looks like i got my hands on an older generation of HID kit where it relies only on one harness instead of two seperate harness for each light (like the newer ones) the reason they charged to two seperate relays is because if i blow a fuse with my current kit i have ZERO lights. Where as if there were two seperate relays for each different light if i blew a fuse i still would have one light operatable. So tonight while @ work im gonna test these out before i start ripping stuff apart to see if i can get these to work.
