Default Help finding a positive wire in engine bay ....>

Hey I'm installing a bi-xenon hid on my 99 civic and I dont want to route the positive line from the hid kit to my battery cause that be to much wire going around my engine bay, what other power source wire closes to my headlight that I can use?

I tried my fan but that didnt work cause It turns on from the ecu or something like that,


thanks

Why are you needing to wire to the battery? Does your kit not utilize the existing headlight wiring?

HID lighting uses a lot more power than regular lights. If it says not to run it off the stock wiring, then just tuck the wire. Run it through the bumper, passenger fender, maybe through the hole for the brake line and to the fuse box.

I have my battery relocated and the positive runs to the starter. That's where my HIDs are connected.
