So I got some of the kit wired up. But I'm trying to figure out what the rest of the wires connect to,
In case you can't tell, A is pointing to the same thing as F
- So far I've figured out that D plugs into the stock OEM headlights (only one stock OEM headlight needs to be pluged in)
- However, where do B and G plug into? Are they left empty because I am using the relay harness?
- And where is the ground on my relay harness? Most relay harness's I've looked at have a single ground wire, mine seems to have two, one connected to each wire that connects to each ballast. Is the ground included in the two plugs that go into each ballast (C and E)? Do I only need to ground those two?
- And what the hell are the blue and black wires on the bulbs (A and F)?
Here's what I think:
- A & B, F & G just sit there and do not plug into anything because they are used if I am not using a relay harness. But I am using a relay harness so therefore they are left alone and do nothing.
- My particular relay harness has two grounds instead of one (I dunno why), so C and E each have to be grounded to seperate bolts.
- D plugs into one of the stock headlight plugs

GoodRevs,
Looks good so far. Take a look at the pictures I sent you. It may help you out a little more.
Right = Battery Side, Left=Other Side
A&B - Take that wire out of the rubber grommet, you won' t be using those. This is for use with a non-relay setup.
C - Connects to the negative terminal of the battery on the right side. There is also a red wire that connects to the positive battery terminal.
D - Connects to the right side to the stock OEM headlight socket.
E - This is a ground, that goes to the left side, attach it to the coolant reservoir bolt.
F&G - Again, take that wire out of the rubber grommet, you won' t be using those. On the left side, you unplug the stock harness from the bulb and it is not used. The relay will turn that side on automatically. That is what the relay is for.
Everything else is connected properly.
