The fix-all solution for MOST HID Kit install problems.
Aftermarket HID kit installations can be tricky. Especially if the vehicle is newer and has advanced computer monitored lighting systems. In these cases, the vehicle's computer will read the HID kits lower wattage as there being a problem, throwing an error light, or worse trying to correct itself by adjusting the wattage making the HID kit flash or completely malfunction.
Additionally, if the vehicle has Daytime Running Lights, a relay kit is practically REQUIRED for installation if you want to keep your Daytime Running Light function.
The relay wire kit functions by drawing power directly from your battery while still connecting to your stock harness so you can turn them on and off with your stock headlight control switch.
Directions for install:
1. Connect the circle ends of red and black wires to the positive and negative battery terminals, respectively.
2. Connect the male ends of the relay harness to the female ends of both HID ballasts.
3. Connect the female end of the relay harness to the male plug from the HID bulbs closest to the battery. THE MALE PLUG ON THE HID BULB OPPOSITE THE HEADLIGHT WILL BE LEFT UNCONNECTED AND UNUSED.
H.I.D. Light Installation for High watt, Low watt, Standard and Slim Ballast HID Kits (single filament lights only):
-
Disconnect your vehicle's negative battery terminal
-
Disconnect and remove your stock headlight bulbs from the harness
-
Install the new HID light bulbs into your vehicle's headlights. Be sure to use clean rubber gloves or avoid touching the glass on the HID light bulbs. Dirt or oil left on the glass of the bulb could cause the xenon gas to overheat and blow up the bulb. Lock the HID light bulbs into place.
-
Connect the stock wiring harness from your vehicle to the corresponding plug (or plugs, depending on your bulb type) on the HID Light Bulbs.
-
Connect the remaining 3 plugs to the corresponding plugs on the HID Ballast.
-
Find a place to mount the ballast where it will be stable, away from heat, and not touch any moving parts in your vehicle's engine bay.
-
Use the included installation brackets, zip ties, or double sided tape to mount the ballast in place.
-
Reconnect your vehicle's negative battery terminal.
-
For HID lights installed into your headlights, aim your headlights down so that the vehicle HID kit will not blind others drivers in front of you. Please see your vehicle owner's manual for head lamp aiming instructions. Aiming may also be necessary for HID Fog Lights.

What color HID Kit should I get for my vehicle?
For headlights and foglights, a 6000K super white HID kit (low watt) is by far the most popular choice among vehicle owners. 8000K Blue HID kits come in second place for HID headlights. Even though they are called "blue" 8000K HID lights actually are still white, with a bit of a blue tint to them. 3000K Yellow is the most effective choice for HID foglights since yellow is scientifically proven to provide better visibility in rain, fog, or snow. 3000K Yellow (aka JDM Yellow) HID headlights are not legal for street use in certain communities.
I see separate listings for the high beam and low beam HID lights, but my vehicle headlights uses one bulb for both (9004, 9007, H4, etc.) . Which HID Conversion kit do I pick?
Unless otherwise listed, every set of HID lights we offer is single filament, meaning if your vehicle has one single bulb for the high and low beams, you can only change one function to HID. The other function would be eliminated, thus, we only recommend connecting the HID kit to your low beams in those situations.
I want/own aftermarket projector lights. Can I use vehicle HID headlight conversion kits with them?
HID lights actually work best with a projector lens to help disperse the light. HOWEVER, please be advised that aftermarket headlight and some foglight PROJECTOR LIGHTS USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULBS (usually H1, H3, etc). You would have to buy the HID kit made for your Projector Headlight bulbs since the vehicle HID kits we list are for your vehicle's STOCK headlights. We recommend customers to get their projector headlights first to find out exactly which type of HID conversion kit they need.
Warning: YOU MUST USE LOW WATTAGE HID KITS WHEN INSTALLING INTO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS. Projector headlights usually have a cramped space for the bulb, and a high wattage HID Lights put out too much heat for the projector lens to handle. This is also true for most vehicle Projector Foglights.
Is this HID Conversion kit legal for street use on my vehicle's headlight or foglight assemblies?
Laws vary by jurisdiction, but so long as you have pointed the headlamps on your vehicle pointed downward so your new HID Lights aren't blinding other drivers (or police officers!) you will probably avoid trouble. Some areas such as certain Canada communities require that the High Beams on your vehicle match the Low Beams, so if your low beam is HID, then your High Beam must be HID as well. Please do not install a single filament H.I.D. headlight kit if your community has such a law and your stock bulbs use one dual filament for both high and low beam functions.
How do I aim my vehicle Headlamps to keep my HID lights from blinding other drivers?
Usually there are little gears with screws on the inside of your vehicle's headlamps. You can usually turn these by hand or with a screwdriver. Park facing a wall and adjust until the light is set to an appropriate level usually LOWER than your headlights (to ensure a downward angle)
I have the premium package/higher model for my vehicle and my vehicle came with stock OEM HID Xenon lights already. Can I use your vehicle HID Conversion kit to replace my factory HID kit?
Sorry, but no. If your vehicle came pre-equipped with an H.I.D. kit, you will need to buy a different type of HID bulb (D2C, D2S, etc) and ballast, usually referred to as a "Stock Replacement HID Bulb / Ballast." Our kits are CONVERSION kits and are made to work with stock halogen bulb harnesses only. Though rare, if your vehicle came with stock HID foglights, then the HID foglight kits we offer would also not work.
I don't want junk parts on my vehicle, what is the warranty on this HID conversion kit?
Every vehicle HID Headlight kit and vehicle HID Foglight kit we sell is valid for warranty replacement for 1 year from the original date of purchase so long as they are properly installed on your vehicle, unmodified, and used for normal daily driving.
