HID Installation, someone please help...

[R_Sharpe]

Alright, so today, I finally received my DDM Tuning HID Kit. Now, I have no clue how to install it. Heres a picture of everything that I received, what goes where? Please help, I would like to get them in soon, and it's almost dark outside.

I got a wiring harness, two ballasts, and two 8000k bulbs.

If someone could just tell me for sure if I have to use the wiring harness thing, I would be fine.

unplug the headlamps and plug that wire into the ballast, then use the new wiring harness to connect the ballast to the new bulb

Alright, sorry for such a delayed response... So Myke, since you said that you didn't use the wiring harness, I'm thinking that I'm just going to try to plug them in tomorrow. Thanks.

I believe you'd only need the harness attached if you notice the HID-lights flickering or slightly dulling for a second when you do certain things, like roll up the windows.


heres what DDMtuning says
Use this relay harness to connect HIDs to cars with very small gauge wiring that cannot supply the initial surge current required to light the bulbs reliably. Symptoms indicating the harness is required would be intermittent starting or lights going out after being turned on for several minutes and requiring you to turn the lights off and back on for them to turn back on again.

Alright, I installed them yesterday. They work, so... I haven't noticed any flickering, or anything wrong for that matter, so I guess that you really don't HAVE to install the harness. Thanks for the help. .
