Hid Technical Question

[strydes]

Ok, so I've managed to get the old globe out, tweak the locking pin to fit around the HID globe, put the ignitor onto that and attach it to the ballast... but now I'm not 100% sure.

So there was a green and black cable running to the light itself, with what looks like the black one having the end cut off and changed to suit a screw in. So, I'm assuming I need cut that end off and change to suit the pin connector as per the first image. Can someone confirm for me?

Next question, the plugs that attach to the ballast, where do I need to solder these cables into?

I've scoured the net for close up pics of the back of the headlight which I'm sure will answer my question but no luck. Thanks in advance.

Cmon... someone... I wanna dive into this again tonight and get it sorted!

I'm sure its a simple answer.

quite simple . follow the two coloured wires back to where they were cut

the bulb already has power.

Thanks Chris, just to confirm... so solder the green and black to the orange wires of the plug?

That was my initial plan, but the pins on the back of the ignitor psyched me out.

yep thats correct. shame you do not have the 'correct' plugs that would make life a bit easier.

Super, thanks!

Yeh these ones are from a 350z I think. Doesn't matter though, they fit right.

Hi guys!

I finally had a chance to remove my bumper and get the head light units out......... only to find that they cut away the ignitor

Good thing out of this little excercise was that the HID fog light kit I have installed only had their connectors disconnected from the balast units, so connected these and whola! they worked! nice

I'm going to phone around locally (Perth) and find out if I can source the harness quickly or at least the ignitor piece to fix up the headlights now.

I'd like to do this soon as I am think of selling the V.... yes that's right selling the V! I know what you are all thinking, pointless fixing up the HID, but I just feel like doing it out of fun and to say that I finally did it

Ok cheers guys!
