Question and Confused about installing HID
so i bought this [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D9D4EV6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Opt7 HID Kit[/ame] and im trying to install it i did first the passenger side and i can conenct the Positive (to the battery), Negative (anywhere on my car), to the ballast, to bulb and to stock harness
but when i go to the driver side i got confused because i can only connect the bulb, ballast and a connector from the relay (the long one) my question here is where do i connect the stock harness? am i missing a piece from the kit? plus i have an extra connector that looks like has a battery or something (6th picture from the link) that im not sure where to connect them any help would be appreciated ![]() btw, if this isnt the right place to ask feel free to move |

to keep blinding to a minimum, please bend down the "squirrel finders" in the projectors

hi, i got the same opt7 HID kit too and just installed it 2 days ago, you dont need to use the extra stuff that came with (the pre-setup relay, and the 2 capacitor) you only the need stuff inside the box. 2bulbs, 2 ballasts, and the 2 cable connectors that go from the ballasts to your car's headlight connectors. very simple.
note* just match the color of the car's connectors with the ballasts' connector, there are 2 notches on the connector, one side is square which is hard to push into the car's female connector, the other side is like a triangle that can be push in easier, but it is the square one that goes into the snap hole on the car's female connector, you will see it and get what im talking about once you get there, i connected it the wrong way the first time... didnt mess up anything though. |

![]() This is the ballast, there are only 2 lines coming out of the ballast. one goes to the bulb with 2 small connector(blue line), the other is jut a female connector where you have to insert the male adapter into it(the green line) ![]() here is the bulb and the car's connector line, as you can see, the green line just goes straight from the ballast to the car's connector line via a male to male adapter that comes with the kit. and the blue line connects the ballast to the bulb. again, you do not need to use the pre-setup relay nor the 2 capacitors that came with the kit but is packed outside of the opt7 HID box |
