problem with hid's

[rocket]

I have the bulbs in, the ballasts mounted, and grounded well, (too bare metal frame) But the wiring harness for the relay has no adaptor for the three pin oem plug. I know too only use one of the oem plugs, (driver side?). But I haven't a clue as too which adaptor I need. The relay harness has no three pin connector, only the wiring from the bulbs do. But that doesn't jive with the owners manual that came with the kit. asap help

give me a sec, I'll take pics of what goes where. I have a harness downstairs.

Do I need the relay harness at all?/ I see another diagram where the oem plugs right into the ballasts. I actually tried that, but I only had high beam operation. I'll try to match up the black wires on those connections (oem three pin)_

 

[0212353]

you need the harness.

Refresh my memory, did you get Nightvisions or Digitals?

nightvisions

 

[0212353]

ahh, I don't have one of those harnesses here.

Nice chatting with you on the phone though - think we got it squared away! Call me if you need anything man.

saw the video, My relay feeds the left bulb, the left ballast and the connecting harness for the right side. that harness connects too the ballast on the right side. and the resistor. I'm missing something, Or something isn't right.. I have both of the three pin connectors hooked up, Yours is pretty close too my set up, Did it work? Ya kinda signed off with a ''hope it works'' phrase.lol.

 

[0212353]

Is it working Bill?

No I still have just hih beams. I had too hook up both oem's for even that too work. Kinda at a loss now. The video isn't much help I'm afraid. It shows the three pin adaptor that I do not have.

Those 2 mini harness looking things - both of those have H13 plugs on them, right?

[rocket]

yes

 

[0212353]

ok, so main harness:
Power ( fused)
Ground
2 runs to ballasts. Short is drivers.
Plug to mini harness 1

Mini harness 1 ( driver):
H13 plug to oem green plug
Resistor to ground
Plug to harness.

Mini harness 2 (pass)
H13 to oem
Resistor to ground.

Let me double check the driver side. The pass side is exactly as stated, brb.

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Is this the same wiring harness I used?

Nah. Bix harnesses are different.

I think I just have too cross a few oem wires, (i'll cross the kit wires instead). o5singlecab had the same problem, so we will see tomarrow. His lights look awesome now.in his sig page. btw.

power relay. r/h-13 too oem feeds relay.black covered
relay r/s ballast red
relay l/s ballast red
Omitted twin resistors.

Jeremy, I have two ballasts that are inoperative. Can you/todd replace them?
I'll need them for my fogs...........Thanks too matt(lb37) And a dude named Brian, Matt's buddy, He doesn't have time for forums, but he has a killer fire truck, power wagon. Frigging thing is nice!
Oh yeah, Matt?! Wash your frigging truck! lmao! Thanks for your help,nick we used a test light and figured out the polarity was correct all along.

Well made it up to retro, (todd's place). Found out what the problem was, Pretty simple once it is explained . The resistors were wired before the ballasts. So the volts were knocked too low for proper operation. So I let him rewire the resistors on both sides, while I installed a couple new led tail light bulbs . I also bought a harness for the fogs. The polarity was off on the harness. But I made damn sure black was negative. The other wire being white is pos, I have one bulb out on the lower amber strip,l/s, I think I have a spare not sure, Gonna see if I have one in the basement. put that in and hope everything works. I fried my b&d cordless drill, (it was due) I used that thing without mercy,4yrs old.lol. Well thats it tossing back a few beers, fix a bulb and hit the switch. But right now I'm content on sipping a few beers.......truth is I don't wanna try anything and blow up something if it is wired wrong , lol.
