how to hook up hids!?

[03.5BlueMSP]

so i got my ddm tuning hids, and how the F*ck do i hook these up? theres like 2 post things, but our headlights use 3?

 

[Spiced MSP]

you may have the wrong type of headlight

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

what headlight do i need?

 

[njaremka]

funny stuff.

HIDs only need a power and ground, thus only two wires. did you get a hi-lo kit, or a single beam only? did you get an H4 kit?

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

h4 kit, and i figured it out. i tried every way except for with the black on top! lol.

reverse polarity.

 

[boostedmsp]

Which kit did you order I am looking into buying some here soon.

12000k 55W H4 single beam HID

12000k probably wont be the best for driving in rain and fog, and other inclimate weather

The 3rd prong is for your hi-beam. Unless you wasted your $$ on the hi/lo bulb then it will only have 2 prongs. Just orient the plug the same way as it was before and it will be fine. It is pretty obvious how it lines up.

yea i have the same problem i got a hi/lo beam hit and it didnt come with a relay then i got the relay but have no idea how to hook it up

Have you done much wiring b4? If not you should have just gotten a HID wiring harness. they cost like $15 and save you a lot of time. Especially if you don't know jack about wiring.

12000k 55W H4 single beam HID

YUCK. 55w = tons of glare, 12000K = all blueness, and very little usable light.

essentially its the same as a standard kit, with an extra circuit from the factory high beam connected to a solenoid. That solenoid moves the HID bulb refocusing it as a high beam.

Some just have an additional filament that gets power.

oh, yeah, the retarded ones with a halogen high beam.

NO ONE should waste their money on those.

Ya, haha. You don't need a hi-beam anyways. The lo-beam should be plenty bright enough.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

pairing 30 year old halogen technology with a HID bulb is just dumb. You're basically guaranteed to blow the halogen high beam before the HID gives out.. so... why bother?

I have a bi-xenon kit, and found the Hi useless enough that I didn't rewire it when I changed bulbs. I definitely don't miss it horribly or anything.

.......as long as you don't go with 12000k purple s***.

True. 5000k here. Still need to install my 3000k's into my fogs at some point...

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

my 55W 12000k's are not even blue lol.....and what glare?

they are probably less blue than a 6000k 35W, no lie. ill snap a pic tonight.

But heres a daytime pic so you can see the color..
