Re: HID help please
Aright we'll I'm installing my friends HIDs today so here goes. Such an easing thing making me scared (shiver) O_O haha jk. I'll take some pictures and post them up later. BTW the set up might be a little different since the kit didn't come with 3M double sided tape, it came with zip ties O_O! makes me laugh haha. Hopefully I can find a good spot to mount them. Oh and Kenny they sold it to us for $35.. bad? rip off? So.. lollygagger how you like your HIDs?
Hahah
Hahah

Re: HID help please
I'm sure you can hook it up anyways with those two wires
If you look at the 3 prong input on the car's harness
if u look at it straight on, it should look like
Ground wire should be the top LEFT
and low beam should be top RIGHT
As long as you plug your black wire into the left, and blue wire to right, it should work, you just wont have high beams

Alright so here's how it went. I had to do a little modifying for the light to work. To Kenny, for that diagram you showed me ^ with the black and blue wires. I had to plug the ground wire on the bottom and the blue on the right. It worked perfectly, hopefully it wont short circuit anything in the long run.
Here is a picture of how I re-wired the prongs as well with a diagram I made

AND
Here's some other pictures of the connections

Uh, quick note. 7thgen h4 harness is ground switching.
An H4 harness I have from an old set of TYCs that I labeled for reference. The hidden +12VDC prong is to the right of the "lo -" label, as shown below
so, i guess if you're staring into the female end of your car's H4 harness, it would be +12VDC, low ground (-), high ground (-)

Oh alright thanks for that, I might stock up on some 3M double sided tape just in case haha. I'll let my friend know as well.

Last I checked in my Haynes manual wiring diagram, it was ground switching, too. I'm too lazy/busy to go to my car to find out right now. I don't even know why I'm on civicforums right now.. lol

Re: HID help please
It should not be a problem the way you hooked them up,
HOWEVER
Make sure you secure that harness, and it doesnt touch any metal
I would spray some clear laquer over it, or use a glue gun, something nonconductive
Or, you could wrap the whole thing in electrical tape
