Exclamation HID install help..(XD Xtreme kit)

I ran a couple searches but couldn't find what I was looking for. All of the current DIYs only show the mounting spots but not really the details of where/how everything connects. I'm trying to install my Xenon Depot Xtreme kit on my low beams but can't figure out how to connect these things. Can anyone post up pics of each connection.. like where they ground the +/- wires, where to connect the battery, etc. I will try to take pics tonight, and compile a full DIY for future reference.

i think you only need to reverse polarity for the fog lights, but i could be wrong.

and for the connections.. its simple plug and play.

I have a 350 with XenonDepot line, not the Extreme though.

I will take some picture and try to answer your question.

First download this: http://www.xenondepot.com/images/Manualls/xtrmman.pdf

It's the manual from XD.

I'm just struggling to find out where to connect that positive and negative wire... Don't know which where to ground... do I connect the positive to the positive terminal on the battery?

You connect the + to the battery and - somewhere on the chassis.

Ok, I got the connections to the bulb and harness


Is this a good spot to mount the negative?


Now for the positive..


Both positive wires go to the positive terminal of the battery?

Yeah, you can run both positive wires to the battery terminal. As for the negative, just find a good place where there's a spare screw just like the one in the picture. Remember to drill a hole and use something to cover it up good or else you'll get water in your headlight. It's best to plug the kit and make sure it works before you actually run/hide your wires.

Ok I think I've got this all down except for the positive wires...



Can #1-4 be used for the positive connection?

You must connect the BALLAST DIRECTLY TO THE EXISTING H11 Halogen BULB HARNESS. Otherwise it will indicate a "BULB FAILURE" in the dash.


What happen with XenonDepot's support line?

Ok, disconnect all of the ground and connections you have completed onto the battery.

Connect it directly to the H11 Bulb Harness.

COnfirm polarity with a Light Tester or Multimeter before you make the connections.

This is a very easy install that can be completed in less then 1 hr.

Goodluck
