it doesnt really matter about your ballast info. what year is your car btw? it matters because 01-03's are diff from 04-05

your gonna need a relay wire and connect it to the battery, they sell them at www.hid-lights.com and click on accessories. Get the relay set for H4. your gonna have to splice wires and connect them. My brother had the same problem with is H4 Hids and had to buy a set of relay wires.




Im not sure whether these connectors are compatibile with your connectors though. The ones they sell here ARE NOT the universal amp connectors. Amp connctors are the universal ones. If they are amp connectors you can find the relays on ebay. Amp connectors look like this.

I have the relay kit from my old HID set. but it still didn't work when i connect the relay kit to my new HID kit.

however one thing i found out is that... the Max current input for my new HID ballast is 10A.. my old set is 20A. that's the only difference between my two kits.. the old kit worked on my car.

so can i say that my car is putting too much current to my new kit so that it didn't work.. coz i found out the fuse for the car's headlight is 15A.

Don't know much about electrical stuff. you might want to ask gearbox he knows a lot about that kind of stuff.

well i know when i had installed my hids, i had to play with the metal prongs to find out which was placed where. one is for the highs and one for the lows. as you see in the pics, it has three, a standard low beam hid has only two. if this makes sense.
