H.I.D.'s: Swapping an external igniter for an ingtegrated unit
Hey guys wasn't sure where I should post this so here goes.
A few weeks ago one of my H.I.D. Ballasts was destroyed(long story) and now I'm trying to change it from a system with an external igniter to a unit with an integrated one. So here's where is get complicated(for me anyhow).
The kit I used to have isn't made anymore (RM racing conversion kit) So I bought a ballast from sigma auto.com Which has awesome customer service and extremely fast shipping. Now the new ballast is very different from my old unit. The old one has 3 wires from the igniter: a thick(maybe 14awg)black wire and a 2 smaller(20awg) wires on each side of that. These 3 go to a plug that connects to the back of the bulb. And the new ballast with integrated igniter has only 2 wires coming form the unit with a plug on each end, one white(maybe 14awg)and one black(around 16awg). So can anyone tell me how to wire this into my car? Am I missing a piece of wiring harness that connects form the ballast wires to the bulb itself? Any help will be appreciated
BTW it is for d2r bulbs if that makes any difference.
Thanks guys
