ok so i just got my HID's from HID4U and have some question

1) on the relay there is three wires connected to it, only about a foot long or so and they are colored blue,black and white


Where do these need to connect to?

 

Those go into the passenger side stock harness (the harness that is attached to the back of the stock bulb).

Black is the middle. blue and white on the outsides, try them on both sides until your high and low beam are correct.

 

ok well i just tried what you said and i get nothing from sticking it in the stock harness, so i tried plugging the orginal halogen bulb back in and i get nothing from the passenger side but if i go over to the drivers side the bulb works fine

 

put your stock bulbs back in, then instead of turning the headlights on, when its night time turn them to (auto) aka turn the dial left, it will re-dial your stock bulbs. then do what i said to do with the HIDs.

 

ok it was just a blown fuse thats why it wasnt working

so i dont think black is middle because when i put a new fuse in i put black in the middle and white and blue on the outsides and it blew the fuse again. i dont think it would blow it if i got the blue and white mixed up.

if i have the relay do i need to splice/tap into the stock wiring?

 

nope, no tapping required. sry about the fuses. For mine, the black wire (ground) goes in the middle. must be different for yours. Make sure that...
a) you havent hooked up the red wire to the battery yet. That will blow fuses.
b) your prongs DONT TOUCH EACH OTHER.
c) the key isnt in the truck w/ the headlight switch on while you're wiring this stuff.

 

alright well ill try again tomorrow and report back

thanks

 

so i got the passenger side light to work and now the drivers side light wont work.

i did accidently cut the ground wire that comes from the bulb in half but i put it back together with a wire tap. that didnt seem to work

tomorrow i will solder the wires back together and see if that works


but until then if you guys think there is something else im missing let me know


i didnt have to plug the little prongs into the drivers side headlight too right? because there are no little prongs to plug in on that side

 

No, you should only have to use the passenger side factory harness. You can tape off the drivers side one so no water gets in there.

 

yeah i taped it off pretty good, so do you think its just because of the ground wire?

 

ok so i just soldered the two ground wires back together and plugged it in and still there is nothing.

what do you guys think it could be???


no blown fuses

and i just switched the lights to see if that would work and it does so im thinking is has to be a bad ballast?
