Halogen to OEM HID+ other wiring questions
So, currently my car has OEM Halogens.
I have a retrofitted set of headlights with an OEM balast for the low beams.
How can I go about wiring or modifying the stock harness to connect to the ballast to power the bulb?
Also, I was wondering the best way of going about wiring both halos?
I am going to be tapping into the parking lights and turn signal to wire the switchback LED strip, but I was wondering what would be the option to wire the halos.

You can't just plug those into the stock Halogen harness, and you can't retro the HID harness into the car. The best thing to do is call up www.theretrofitsource.com, explain your situation, and ask them to sell you the harness you need to go from the Denso ballast plug to factory 98-00 9006 connectors.
If you're using a bix projector you'll need a 9005 splitter for the solenoids.
You seem to have done a "quad" retro, how do you plan to light the high beam projector? You only have one HID ballast mounted on the headlight.
I feel like your best bet if you are quite clueless in retrofitting is to call TRS and explain what you ahve and that you don't want to cut the OE wiring, please sell you the harness(es) you need.

To answer my own question for others if they're looking for an answer too, I just bought a 9006 female plug, cut the connector on the ballast, solder + heatshrinked the new one on, and it was just plug and play.
