Default How to install aftermarket HID kit in one picture.

I made this diagram for those confused on how to correctly setup their HID setup, figured I would post here. If it helps even just one person atleast it was worth making.

Find a better section to put it in, honda-tech doesn't have an electronics section, and this section has plenty of topics about lighting..

Yes, and if you dont wire it in as above with the relay you can easily melt your stock wiring harness'

Dependent upon the kit you get, you should have a different harness plug. Say for an example, a 92-95 civic with an H4, its a 3 prong plug so you should have an h4 connector to wire it into. If you do not, then you would simply cut the 2 prong off of the end of the hid kit, match a positive and negative feed, and connect. Should pretty much be plug and play though. Post pics and I will try and help you asap. Just pm me.

No cutting needed, only drilling to securely mount your ballasts.

tnx for the pics and an amazing how-to.
it's naturally easy to install HIDs.
it's just a matter of knowing where to plug it in.
nice pics nevertheless
