Icon6 Troulbe Installing HID kit

I recently just purchase an HID kit and i've ran into a problem. Upon installing, i couldnt figure out where this plug goes. I've included 2 pics of 1: the plug and 2: the type of headlights these are going into. Thanks!

Can you include more/better pics?

Obviously you have aftermarket headlights that take H1's. I've got TYC projectors on my 97.

I've never seen kit w/ that type of plug. With mine, I simply cut a small rectangle on the bottom of the rubber seal that goes over the entire bulb assembly so I could run the wires through that. You dont need the wires that are on the rubber piece that came w/ the headlight.

Essentially it should go like this:

Ballast plugs into OEM wiring for headlight plug.
2 Wires comes out of ballast that get plugged into the wired connected to the H1 bulb.

If my card reader worked I would take a pic of my old HID's ive got sitting around. Also, for my HID bulbs to fit I had to file out the hole a bit.

yeah its really hard to tell looking at those pictures...
One should go from bulb into the HID ballast the other should go from HID ballast to car harness... thats how most work at least

you need to swap that H1 connector with a 9006 connector which you can buy at any auto parts store
