HID.. Wire Install...HELP!!! (PICS)
Just got my Xenon Depot kit (no instructions), i wired it all up and turned on the lights.. nothing! I think i wired it wrong. Here are some pics..
top half..

bottom half..

Does the white plug, plug into the power socket? I heard it connects to the ballast itself?!

A overview.. kinda blurry

It also came with a bag full of this. Are the blue ones a fuses? Where do i put it?

HELP! I want to roll with my HIDs alreadY!! btw, i don't plan on taking off the front bumper, what are the best places to mount the ballast for a temporary thing. Thanks

this is what I've always done and it seems to work great. YMMV
also make sure you upgrade to a 20amp fuse in your fuse box (this one usually blows if its under 20a)

From looking at your photographs, it appears you need to do the following:
- Connect the short black wire (with the metal ring at the end) from each the ballast to a good grounding point.
- Plug the white connector (with the black and white wires) into your car's factory headlight connectors.
- Connect the red wire (with the black fuse holder and the metal ring) to your battery's positive terminal.
The blue pieces in the plastic bag are tap-connectors, which you shouldn't need for the installation.

you could have a reverse polarity problem. where the ballast plugs into your bulbs, try flipping it upside down. it should still connect, but with reversed polarity. i had to do that with mine.
I got it guys! Thanks for the help! There's like no place to mount the ballast, so i guess i have to take off the front bumper. I'm scared... wish me luck.
if you are a member of team-integra.net they have a really good write up on HID install on integra, u should check it out, they mount the ballasts perfectly
i mounted mine in the front bumper. the only bad part is, when rain gets to your relays, it will destroy them. it's like a 10 dollar part from NAPA, but taking your front bumper off just to switch a relay is a pain in the ***.

That's why you should wrap the relays with LOTS of electrical tape. I wrapped the entire relay and harness plug w/ tape when I mounted my ballasts:

But not everyone is as skilled (or as liberal) with the tape as you are.
