XenonDepot HID install help finding H11 connector
I'm planning on installing my HID kit from XenonDepot but came across a problem.
The kit has the H11 connector that's suppose to connect to the factory H11 connector to power the relay to the ballasts. I know that there is one connector inside each projector housing that I can use, but is there any other connector outside (in the engine bay) that I can use?
I spent a long time tonight looking for one with no luck.
Has anybody found it?
Thanks,
Dee

Same problem I had, the kit is generic and not just for the IS. There might be a better way but this is what I did:
I cut the relay lead (black and white I believe) and pushed them through two tiny holes I made in the provided grommet. So one grommet had 4 wires coming out of it. I them tucked the OEM H11 inside the light enclosure, connected it, and then shut it. Then I soldered the relay wires back together and shielded with heat-shrink tubing.

I was thinking of the same thing, but was gonna go ahead and get an extra grommet for the relay power. I'll look into just using the same grommet as you did. Thanks.

What I did was I yanked the black and white wire including the pins from the white female connector housing. Then I feed them though the rubber grommet (so now there are 4 wires comming out), then plug the pins back into the white connector. It's a tight seal, but I went the extra miles to put some silicone sealant on the grommet. Good luck.
