Default 1998 Headlight assist

I've got a 98 gs300 with some aftermarket HID's, i need help does anybody know where the plug for the headlight to the Light control box is located? The white plug is from the headlight. Could you tell me if the outlet for the control box is a cord or not?

have you moved the ballast ... if ur talking about the piece that plugs into the white end it shouldn't be far there isn't a lot of give with the wires. There is a piece that plugs right around where the daytime driving lights are that has a lil brace mounted to the back of the housing. Its been awhile since i've looked at the headlights so i cant remember if its white or black for the plug color. But from what I remember none of those wires have much room to move or drop far out of sight.

thats an HID plug, not a 9006..
Why are you putting Aftermarket ballast on the HID unit?

I believe that the light control box that you're talking about is the one that comes with the oem hid headlights. It's the other black box that is next to the hid ballast on the driver side headlight assembly.
