Re: HID retrofit!
they were stripped of the projectors before i got my hands on them. not complaing. i didnt want to go through the trouble of projector retrofiting the. whats this harness your talking about? where can i get one?
Re: HID retrofit!
The wiring harness draws power from your battery, instead of your stock harness. HIDs require around 25,000V to start up the bulbs(but only 35W to maitain the light); this can fry your stock harness overtime. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Re: HID retrofit!
are you talking about the ballasts? bc i have those also. i have the full G35 headlight. All the wiring and everything. minus the projectors.
Re: HID retrofit!
No. It's the wiring harness that connects to the ballast. The wiring harness supplies power to the ballast which, in turn, ignite the bulbs. Unfortunately you'll need the projectors also because the plug is for a D2S bulb, which is the factory bulb size. They won't work with any other bulbs. I have a set of fx projectors and those are pratically the same as the G35 projectors.
Re: HID retrofit!
You can try ebay. The only thing I'm concerned with is that your ballast is factory, which uses a different plug for the ballast. Most harnesses on ebay are designed for after market Hid systems that use a 9006/9005 plug type. You might have to do some wire cutting to get it to fit, that's if you have the factory plug that connects to the ballast.
Re: HID retrofit!
Make your own wiring harness. They have a great thread on it over at HIDplanet.com. In your case that would be the route in which I would go. Then you know its right and you know every little thing you did to it.

Re: HID retrofit!

Re: HID retrofit!
im working on a e39 retrofit into my 01 sedan as we speak. if you have any specific questions, ask away, but from what youre asking, i think you should do some reading first, bc it appears that you dont have a clue whats youre doing.

Re: HID retrofit!
all oem bulbs are between 4100k and 4300k for the most part. some special bulbs go up to 4800-4900k but they are harder to find.
