HID wiring laid out

Got my kit today and thought I would lay out / label everything for those who might have questions regarding the wiring harnesses w/plug-and-play HID kits.

No disrespect but any hid kit with an external ignitor is garbage and i bet you over paid look at fashtek.com ,You will get the same result but the ones with internal igniters have manny advantages .

You are basing this on what exactly?

That is far more than doubtful. Those ballasts look like they were engineered when I was in middle school.

Took me 1 hr to put hid plug and play easiest thing to do the difficult part is finding were to hide the computer for it i zip tie it underneath the headlight frame so if they decide to try to steal it they have to take off the bumper to get to them!!!

Just my 2 cents in this whole thing but OEM manufactures prefer external ignites because of the inrush current which is easier to deal with when its supplied to components outside the ballast rather then passing that high current to components inside the ballast.
