So ive seen this diagram EVERYWHERE. Ive got 94 integra headlights, 5 series BMW projectors, and some acura ballasts and bulbs.

On the bottom of the diagram here im confused about the yellow and blue wires and the red and black wires. Am i supposed ot tap into the stock wiring? anyone who has used this please chime in and help me out. TIA.

Is it really all that bad to just wire it into my headlight wiring?

Answer: Yes.

All you do is get male 9006 connectors with the +/- wires coming out of them. Plug it into the female connectors that's on the stock wiring harness and then run the +/- wires coming out of the male connector that you bought to the relay 85/86 pins.

The black/red lines just signify that you plug the male end into the female end. The yellow/blue just signify the +/- wires coming out of the male 9006 connector.

EDIT:
The funny part about that diagram is that the connectors labeled male and female are reversed. They show the female connector as "male" haha.

You want to create the harness.

 

85 - neg or pos
86 - neg or pos

 

86 - (+) to stock harness
85 - (-) to stock harness
87 - (+) to ballast
30 - (+) to battery


I made this diagram when wiring my retrofit....this may help with visualizing it:

 

Where can one get a hold of those male 9006 connectors? Also the plugs above the male 9006 plugs... I suppose those will plug directly into the ballasts, correct?

**EDIT** OK, just saw the post above me. So I will need to buy the relays as well if I'm doing this... do they sell these at Autozone or Pepboys?

You can get male/female connectors on ebay. "akinaboy" is a great seller...it's where I picked up my H7 connectors. Shipping as fast too....

If you have OEM ballasts, then no the connectors do not plug into the ballasts (well at least mine didn't, and I used Bosch Gen 2 ballasts from a Mercedes). I'm not sure about PnP kits, but I think they do.

Yes AutoZone/Pepboys sells relays.

Dunc,

Thanks for the link bro. What I'm trying to do is use my current McCulloch HID kit (ballasts & H4 wiring harness). I'm attempting to see if I can utilize these Ballasts for my TSX retro into my Teg.

I know I'm going to need new D2S bulbs & new plugs that go from the ballasts to the D2S bulbs (where can I get these?). As far as the connection from the ballast to the batteries, I'll most likely use the relay/switch method... although I'd prefer using the OEM 9006 female connections so I can utilize the OEM light switch.

Nick

slam... sorry for threadjacking you mang

youll need FEMALE plus for this. The integra plugs look female because they have a shroud around them that clips to the light bulb. Now that i know where to get the pig tails ill order some. but for not, ive T tapped my stock wiring.

thanks for the wiring diagram.

no big deal about thread jacking either, ive learned from all of these posts.

I'm thinking I'll need male plugs if I want to utilize my OEM connections. The OEM bulbs are male (correct me if I'm wrong). Right? I'm just planning to cut off the H4 connector from the ballast and purchase some 9006 (male) pigtails to put in their place.

1.) You mean you need the thick wired plug with the funky looking plug that plugs into the D2S bulb? I'm pretty sure these are hardwired into ballasts and you'll need to get an OEM ballast that has the plug attached.

2.) Let me clarify. The diagram I posted is for a 2008 Yamaha R6. You don't need to put the switch in there like I did in my wiring diagram. Your stock switch is the same thing I had to add since motorcycles don't get to pick and choose when the headlights are working. If you already had the bike running and then go to restart it, the lights are cut out when cranking the motor and then they turn back on. To prevent any possibility of the lights being turned on then off and then back on right away (which is bad for the bulbs), I installed a switch so I determine when to turn the lights on.

Also, that's why the switch is only on the wire controlling the HIDs. The halos are my "daytime running lights" that operate like stock R6 headlights (in terms of when they come on and off). This keeps everything legal and then I turn the HIDs on at night when they are needed....saves bulb life too.

youre right. im sorry. i was looking at the actual TERMINALS inside of the plug itself.

 

okay... so 2 relays is just simply to control high beams as well?

Are you asking me? You won't need relays for the high beams. One, because the high beams are just going to be the stock halogen bulbs and two, because TSX projectors are not bi-xenon.

i didnt understand that pic and why i needed a relay on my high beams. I made the harness. Ive yet to loom it yet since this is obviously my first one and im not sure of lengths. Im gonna be running a relay on each of the ballasts.

This is a lil blurry, but you get the idea

Those square boxes labeled "OEM high/low beam" are the stock connectors. You really only need one relay for the whole system, but if you feel like putting in two, then have at it haha

if i run 2 relays each ballast will have its own relay, that way is one goes bad... ill still have some low beam light.

 

You mean if a relay goes bad? Those things are rated at like 1 million cycles aren't they?

 

i have no idea. lol.
