Default [ HELP in a Relay harness ] What's ground wire?

Hello, and good afternoon

I have ordered HID 55W AC digital ballast kit, and a Relay harness.

Then, went to YouTube to see some videos.

They say about ground wire, and I need to find a good place for ground wire or my installation will fail

Please, can you explain what's ground wire, and how do I do the Relay Harness & tips for it?

Thank you

Where did you get the kit? eBay? There should be instructions included, but if not, usually the ground wire will be other than the white or black, or even brown coated wires. Most often it will be green, but you never know with the stuff on the web.

Someone on this forum must have done or seen the results of an install like this so you will be assisted.
I have never added anything electrical to my car, I don't take chances with shorts and overloads.

Have fun with this.

your kit didn't come with instructions?

Also no need to bold or make your text bigger...

It's from Amazon, from Kensun.

No understandable color coding/

No installation manual.

I have 3 rings.

2 coming from the harness from the left ballast. One of them is in red color, and other one in black color.

The third ring is coming from the harness for the right ballast, and is color coded in black.

No, there is no installation manual.

I made the text bigger because everything in this website in the same text size, and that is a
little annoying

I understand but when you put things bigger it usually means you are mad or pissed or screaming... there is no need to post in that size font all the time unless it's to point something out!

Anyways I just giving you a heads up... For your sake I just hope you don't go post in GDD like that!

Ok, Kensun has a video posted up on the web that shows how to put the kit into a non-HID equipped vehicle.

I can't attach the link, it's an aspx file, but it is there if you google search Kensun.

Thank you 97emsedan. I really appreciate your help.

My HID kit will arrive tomorrow, hopefully, and I'll start doing the installation
