Custom RetroFit HIDs

[BIMMERKID21]

but that doesnt help with the low beams being wired through a balast.. since I'm ripping out the low beams and putting in a HID kit.

which means i'd have to rewire everything anyways.

Doesn't one end of the ballast plug into the old bulb plug, and the other end plugs into the new HID bulb?

I know about the resistors.. got that... but check this out.. i'm going to delete the turn signals in the grille anyways. because i got a Euro Grill that I'm putting in. by deleting the signals in the grill... that makes my install work for the Euro grill that much easier

Now for wiring in your headlights. From the picture, it looks like the plugs are already prewired to work for your car. Have you tried simply plugging them into the existing headlight plug on your car and seeing if they work?

To wire in your signals, simply wire them directly to the grill turn signals. You will need the resisters, however, if you use LED bulbs for the turn signals.

as far as i can tell. you got cords coming off the HID bulb that get plugged into the wiring harness for the HID which then goes to the balast.. and then you plug frthe car plug into a cord on the balast if i am seeing this right

as for the link you gave me. it did help me understand how some things need to be wired but that leaves out how i'm going to get both my HID kit in the low beams to retain all functionality of my high beam Halogens as well that are in the unit.

I talked a little while with the company that I bought my headlights from... they didnt give me much in the way of help.. other than.. separate the high beams from the low beam wiring.. you'll wire your hid lowbeam individually and then your high beams would be wired separately and then all the other features on the headlight wired separately..

I got these

in the projector housing im going to put the Morimoto bulbs... then theres still a bulb in the second side thats h1 as well for the high beam.. thats just a normal bulb trying to figure out how to get everything to work. my head is spinning lol

They also have the turnsignal in the housing. I'm planning to get a Switchback White/amber bulbs for them :)

I put those on my old zx5 which my parents have now.. lol... anyways, they are well worth the money if you get them for $150!

Any one know what kind of LED strips he used on the upper corner of the housings in the video? I'm about to order me a complete retrofit kit including the ballast, relay harness, mini H1 5.0, XBLED angel eyes, and the audi LED strip. I'm either going to through away my DDM HID kit I already have in my car, or sell them. Their installed, but not running.

I have used these HID lights earlier but recently got some led lights. I must led lights performance is much better than these HID lights
