Help with HID's - Basic question

[scabzzzz]

Chris buddy where you been all my life?

Yes, I play Halo. Every day of my waking existence. Though I'm only a 14, I cant move up. I recently started a new account and just played for like 5 hours. I made it to 13 in one sitting. Didnt realize how important K/D radio was lol

Im on Xbox as "scabzzzz" and "Yummy scabs"
:D

And no I was being serious about the tap in connectors. I guess it sounded assholeish. My bad. And I'm pretty sure its a 9006 connector, considering my E36 had 9006 connectors from the factory and the factory plug just fit right into the ballast. If it doesnt work, I'll get another. They look right though....

I see, so you're one of those noobs that I always hear about. Haha just kidding.
I'm a 37 in lonewolves.


Interesting. I had no idea they are 9006 connectors. I'll clean up my wiring up front, eventually... When I'm not so lazy.

i'd just cut and solder again. It's not like one of those mods you decide you don't like and have to change back. Unless your planning on runnnig 8000k+ bulbs. Those suck big ones.

Here ya go:

Makes it so the wiring looks stock.

I the voltage from the ballast will arc through the stock wiring. I even tried some thick rubber insulation and it still arc'd through. You have to use silicon insulated wiring or else it will arc like crazy and probably not ignite. Also the HID capsule on my set up was a little too long and i had to cut a hole in the plastic cap. But still looks pretty factory since my ballast are hidden.

Yea, I had that problem at first. What happens is that inside the cap, the wires aren't insulated at the terminals. I ended up putting some silicone on it to insulate it. It's been working fine for the last few years.
