Hids

97LSxGT · Mar 28, 2012

bought a 35w HID kit for the headlights. ive read you need the relay harness and ive read you dont.

do i absolutely need it? the harness i bought came with no instructions(go figure) and doesnt look like any other ive seen on the internet lol.

want to get them in tomorrow and yes ive put in HIDS many times just never have used a relay harness so its a first

if you need a pic of the one i got and can aid me in it if i need it then ill put one up!

sometimes they flash if there is no relay used. Just like you said you did it with out them, well then you have your answer. I did it just because the headlight switch in our cars is known to go bad but with a relay it will be less likely to happen.
relays are not hard and I can get you through it if you want.

ive never did one with a mustang just my fogs. never had one on any of my GM's. im trying to get a rough picture up for what im trying to figure out. watched a vid and kinda got it down but mine does not have the "signal" wire to turn the em on like the vid but im thinking its the plugs for the cars factory harness if you werent using the relay.

they didn't include directions because its plug n play. Connect the red wire to the pos side of the battery, and then plug the drivers side stock headlight hrns into the matching hrns on the left side of your pic. It will only plug into one place and you can't get them backwards. Now the only remaining connection will go to the ballast, and then from the ballast to your HID light. Now run the wiring needed for the passnger side over and do the same with the ballast and hid light.

I have also heard of antilock braking errs popping up depending on where you put th ballast. I put mine behind the batter on the drivers side and under the intake on the pass side and never had a problem.
