Euro smiley headlights and DDM HID kit help!

[Bimmerthusiast]

Hey guys. So I have these new euro smileys from eBay: http://c1552172.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/303648_x800.jpg It said that they accept H1 bulbs.

I also got a DDM HID slim ballast kit. (H1)

The thing is, I dont know how to install the HIDs onto the headlights and also the headlights onto the car. Can't seem to figure out what connects to what.

By the way, the headlights came with these adapters: http://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net...0hl-c(3-3).jpg

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bump. My only issue is, what do I need to plug the euro smiley input to the 3 prong H5006 on the car?

On the end of the headlights is a cap that comes off to access the back of the reflector where the bulb is. The cap have wiring built into it that hooks up to the bulb and gives you an external plug. Unless your car is a euro car, you will not have the correct plug on your wiring harness to plug into the cap.

That doesn't matter though as you bought an HID kit, so the wiring in your car needs to plug into the ballast for the HIDs. The ballast will then connect to the headlights.

In order to use the factory caps on the lights and keep everything sealed up and weather tight, splice the adapters that came with the lights onto the output of the ballasts. You will then also need to cut the wiring off the HID bulbs and wire them into the caps on the back of the lights.

All that being said, I wouldn't run HID lights in stock reflectors. Read here:
