Icon3 Need help with Depo and HID's.

Here is the harness:











For the life of me, I can not figure out what kind of high beam goes into that white socket/connector. I was told a 9005, but a 9005 is NOT going to fit into that plug.

My other problem is, is when I turn the low beams on, the high beam dash light will light up (very dim). If I turn the high beams on, the high beam dash light lights up like normal.

My last issue is something similar to this picture below. My passenger side has a big black gaping darkness where the light isnt filling in.

I have an ebay headlight with a weird connector that kind of looks like that. I can't say that I'm certain because your pictures are too damn blurry :p Either way, the bulb wasn't a 9005/6, it was some sort of wedged bulb. The type where you just push it straight into the socket, not like a typical headlight or taillight bulb.

Yes, my camera is poo. Now if that's the case the HI is a wedge bulb, would that solve the dim hi beam dash light problem?

No, the design is poop. That's why you have a crappy output.

The white plug looks like cheaply made H1 socket.

Okay, so I think I've figured it out.

That H1 plug (White connector) is where the HID bulb go's. Correct? If that's the case, I've had it all backwards.

No H1 is a halogen bulb, did you put an HID kit into the depo lights or are they an aftermarket HID headlight?

Its an aftermarket HID kit that came with the Depos. I just thought they had it backwards because the harness is from a different company than the Depo kit.

Originally when I had it hooked up, the HID's only came on when I hit the brights. So I'm thinking if I re-wire (Take white plug out and replace with the plug the Depo kit came with) I'll have my 9005 high beams and HID's?
