Need help Fitting HID's Quick before it gets dark! 56K

As some of you might rember i got a set of hid's but it was the wrong type as i needed the ones with two bulbs so i could have hi and full beam!

Now i got the bulbs i needed today but i dont know how to fit them! help

Here is the bulb with a HID and a normal bulb for full beam

The bulb has these connectors on

As far as i can see the two and the left goto the ballest and the red and black goto the cars headlamp plug... but all the red and black do is put the normal bulb on with no hid!!

Now on the ballest we have these plugs!

So when connected up the white plug on the left dont do anything (im sure they all pluged in on the last set)

Finally here is the plug on the car.

I dont understand how to make the HIDS work! any help?

Cheers

So you got new bulbs but on the existing ballasts ?

Might not work, H1 and H7 fitment bulbs only have 2 "spades" where as H4 have 3, try contacting where you purchased them to see if this is the case.

Right, assuming you have bought ballasts.

The red should go to your high beam +ve, the black should go to your headlamp ground.
On the ballast there should be another connector with two wires on it (looks like the white one could be it), that is your dip beam, HID feed. One goes to the dip beam +ve and the other goes to the headlamp ground.

Ok done all that but now what happens is when i put full beam on the hid goes off and just left with the normal buld!

Any ideas?

That makes perfect sense if you are powering everything from the existsing headlamp connector, after all the dip and main beams do not come on together with a normal halogen lamp installed. Unless the balast has been designed with two feeds to get around this, you'll either have to live with it, or use the headlamp connector to activate a couple of relays to switch the ballast from a permanent 12v feed.

these kits are designed so the hid is on all the time and the extra halogen is so you can use flash and full beam..

The probelm is the wiring.. i dont know witch conectors to use without damaging the HID's

There must be a way of doing it... Im sure Gaijin will know how todo it becuase he has the same sort of thing on his VTI...
