No clue how to install the Bixenon HIDS i just picked up. Im terrible with wiring and electricals! Anybody got a HOW TO install HIDS (w/out relay harness) on 97-03 F150s. If you have the Retro Solutions Kit, that would be even better.

 

retro solutions didnt give you instructions? its pretty much common sense. got pics? i can make you a diagram.

 

they did give me instructions, but there weak. onl tells me how to install the bulb. im confused on why there are 3 metal rings, 2 for the battery, wheres the 3rd one go? 1 red for negative and 2 black coated wires. just lost.

 

one to control the bulbs movement in and out.

 

What wattage and bulb did you wind up getting?
Mine had a wiring harness ('06). Red and black to battery, with a third lead that plugged into (drivers side) factory connector for the bulb. Sorry, no idea about RS kits.....

 

Mine had a wiring harness as well. It's really a simple install..... you have one plug that'll hook into your factory headlight harness to control the bulb movement. The only other connections you have is one positive at the battery and a negative for each ballast. Just find a good spot to ground those (somewhere close to the ballasts) and you're all set.

Oh yeah the red is for the positive (+) battery terminal not the negative (-).

 

theres 3 metal rings. 1 is red, which goes to the positive. the other 2 rings are to be grounded?

 

Right. Those other two should already be close to the ballasts, correct?

 

correct. ok. ill give it another try tomorrow when i have more patience.

 

If its like any standard HID plug and play....its red to batter, black to ground and third wire to factory socket that will turn the lights on and off.

 

this if from the position of the lights pointing towards the road.
