Wiring gurus? HID / headlight wiring harness.. wont work
I need help. Quite simply, i cannot get my full h4 (complete with relays etc) headlamp wiring harness to work with my H4 HID kit. I tried reversing the polarity of the plug that plugs into the car's OEM passenger side light socket (for activation via the headlamp stick in the cabin).... i know theres reverse polarity somewhere, where should I tweak the wiring? All i get is a click sound but no lights. So right now im using the car's oem light socket plugs which i dont wanna do toolong... too much voltage coming out of those ballasts
Only the lowbeam lead off of your car's stock harness needs to be connected to the relay. You also have to suppy the ballastic with a full 12v from your battery. This is done by running 12v right from your battery to your relay. The lowbeam lead of your car's stock harness is used to trigger the relay to provide the full 12 v to your HID ballastic. You also have to run a ground wire from each harness to a ground in your engine compartment.
Some one please correct me if I'm wrong since its been awhile since I wired mine.
I believe Yellow Red is the low beam on your stock harness and Blue Red is your High beam.
Check your headlight fuse, I remember when I first hooked up my HIDs incorrectly I kept on blowing a fuse.
