    How are H1 Bulbs Grounded? Got a set or Euro Smilies, and cant get the highs to work

    So the deal is this. I got the low beams to work correctly as they are HID. The high beams are H1 bulbs, which only have one plug; just like my fog lights which are H1's. There is basically one prong to connect 12V to on the Highs. Where does the ground go for the H1s?

    I dont have the cap that goes on the back of the highs. I basically have a "Naked" connector in the back.

    Anyone?

      There's a round peg on the left side of the bulb, that would have been your ground connection to the cap and therefore the plug. Take a female bullet connector and crimp it onto the ground wire an install it on said round peg and you're good to go.
