Can you cut the stock lights and connect ballast straight wires from the car stock lights this is for an SC400. Or do you neeed a custom harness because the stock wires cant hold the power for the HIDS?

Yes u can use the OEM wiring harness to power up your HID ballast. The HID system actually uses a lot less power than the halogen lights. However when you first turn on the HIDs it pulls more current so you may want to also up your fuse by about 5A more.

 

agree, a lot of people use their oem wirings to power the hid no problem, including me. you probably wanna up the fuse from 15A to 20A like rgarjr said, that would do the trick

 

I made myself a little adapter go from 9006 socket to the HID socket.. That saved me from cutting the OEM wire. I can try to take a pic but the adapter is not some top-quality work .

 

that's awesome!

show pics of the adaptor too!

 

Here's the pic

It's as simple as it gets So don't laugh

I used a blown 9006 bulb and cut the socket out but leave the metal. The rest are pretty straight forward.

Hope it helps

 

hahhahaa (ok, i didn't laugh)

but hey, that's very good thoughts!

 

haha...lol

I told you it's not a top-quality work. I'm sure someone can do better than that. see...I want to connect the housing so bad, so took it not too serious.

 

I'm actually surprised you haven't melted your wires yet.

 

nop, everything is just fine. without the 20amp fuse the hid kits wont' work. it keeps on blowing the fuse

 

I run on 30 amps because anything lower will burst. Strange.

 

wow really? that's weird. the places i got kits from they both (two in total) told me 20amp. so far it's been ok though

 

I am like sinquenza, I blew my 15A when I hook the ballast straight to the stock wiring. So I went to a 20A and I also used a awesome harness sinquenza made me and now my HIDS work like a charm.

See, 30 amps (15 amps each):
