Thanks Steve. This is what I had planned to do until I saw "Sick03L" reply in this thread.






The hole on the left is where the OEM D2R plug goes, this plugs sticks out of the broad face of the OEM ballast. So when the ballast is screwed on. the hole is completely covered. If I use an aftermarket ballast it has to have to that layout or else water will get into the headlight through the exposed hole. I am willing to get the OEM ballast to avoid this, I just need someone's help in wiring it to the stock Halogen 9006 harness.

Mikal where are you, lol

 

Yes...the hole on the left is where the ballast bolts on and seals the hole, the wiring runs up through and around the inside of the housing and you get access to change the bulbs through the big azz hole in the back. Short of running OEM style ballast into OEM housings there is not proper way to seal all that up. There is a how to on here on how to wire factory HIDs into a NON HID car.

I think most people are missing your issue. Non Factory Hid car with Factory HIDs housing that are stripped and and trying to run a aftermarket set of HIDs. This is correct right? Get OEM ballast with DR2 bulbs and order the back housing caps then splice into the facorty lighting wiring to fire up the ballast or find a adapter harness if it exists. That's going to be the cleanest and easiest way to get this done. Or sell the housings and go the cheap way and run an aftermarket kit in your OEM non hids housings.....I know you want the OEM HID for light projection though.

 

Does those housing have the auto levelers on them??? I know u cant use it but if they are missing you will have to seal that up too. My 01+ housing came with them when I replaced mine.

 

Thanks Sick03L, I am going to go the route you suggested, had it not been for you I would have been stuck with an aftermarket ballast that wouldnt fit.

I dont understand why the dealer would sell the housing with out the back cap for the big azz hole. My OEM housing should be here tommorow and if it doesnt come with it im going to be p'ed off

The back cap can be ordered seperatly? Can I also order the rubber o-ring that goes around the ballast plug?

 

I see what you mean now. I do have some 9006 female connectors that would plug into your OEM headlight wiring. Assuming your ballasts have positive/negative input wires you can tap or solder those wires to the 9006 female connector that I have. This way everything will be plug+play. I hope that makes sense.

FYI- We carry Original Philips D2R 4300k bulbs as well.

Yes...Ive had to order both the Big azz cap and rubber o rings for the ballast. The o rings are $4 each and the big azz cap are $14 i think. Call Sewell....Im sure they can tell u exactly what u need. Id give u the part #s but I lost the receipt for both the purchases.
