This is the best HID kit installation with relay harness that I've seen on KZread. Thanks bud!

I like that you laid everything out on the ground. It's much easier to look at.

Excellent explanation! Concise and straight to the point on how to everything hooks up. Great description, especially when laid out.

Tthis is the kinda vid the vendors shouldbe doing. Makes sense now thank you

TIP: For anyone with this kit or similar and is still having issues after wiring it like the video here is a fix. Plug the pins into the connector just as it shows in the video. When you plug the connector into the red part on the ballast just flip them around on both of them. Mine actually had a positive and a negative mark on each one to match them up. So you’ll want the positive side to go into negative slot and the negative side to go into the positive side if that makes sense. Many hours of frustration and this is what finally got mine to work correctly.

No matter what I do to mine they remain dim, they start up really bright then within a second return to a dim state, does this mean my 12v current isn't strong enough?

Awesome instructions....my surprise was when I saw the nissan badge...I got a 2011 max and the engine compartment is very similar. Saves me some time figuring out where to wire and how to route it.

Very clear information. I was watching so many videos, you are the best! Thank you so much!

Simplified and detailed ! Love the videos !!

Awesome video, thanks, makes my install much easier/faster

Dope! Helped me hook my headlights up.. 💯

this was the most helpful guide ever thank you so much

very useful this video!!!, very accurate with the install using a harness here is a tip that im using on my accord 94, with the harness you have 1 vehicle connection free so what i did was to unify that connection to the high beam bcos im dont like to see any wiring hanging there also, to put into the high beam a capacitor just to have peace of mind, hope this tip like it and well greetings from colombia. :)

Awesome video man first very that was actually helpful and not confusing

Great intructional video.

Thanks for this video . . shows the wiring harness and relay and what to do with it. But can't help thinking that a set of capacitors and the stock harness . . all plug and play. But thanks for clearing this up for me, appreciated.

One of the best DIY videos on installing the hid kit!! Great job and keep em coming!!

Perfect thanks will I still have a error with this kit installed ? Due to the other headlight connector not connected

This is an awesome video! Thanks so much. It is so clearly detailed that i now understand how to reverse the process should i decide to switch to LEDs. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the video. Recently I just change stock headlight(55w with 15amp fuse) to xenon Hid(55W with stock fuse 15amp), but the xenon manual says a 20amp fuse recommended. Do I really need to upgrade the fuse rate? Thank you.

Dang, wanting to upgrade my farm trucks. This was awesome n super descriptive. Subbed

Good video THANK YOU !

did you have a actual OEM connector for the ballast? I had my HID kit installed years ago, and cent figure where they plugged the connector into. I been using the fog light connector since.

So did it work when you bought a relay harness

With a relay harness is it normal that you only have one connection for factory headlight harness just to get the signal to turn them on

If you contact rele.do you have fault for light on dashboard

Hopefully you or someone reading this can help me with the issue I have right now but basically I was trying to install the hid kit with relay on my car and the passenger side of my hid bulb won't turn on and I couldn't figure out why. It was also making so buzzing noises which supposedly I heard that it wouldn't happen with a relay kit. I don't know if it was due to the fact that the plug that was plugged into the bulb was left hanging, but I only have one signal wire which is connected to the driver side.

What if the Xenon bulb cannister is cracked? It was delivered that way. Is it still good to use?

Hi. Thank you it was very clear nice expression. I have a question. I bought a osram hid kit(new). I tried it by my passat without relay. But it flickers 2 sec. and stops the working. (Both of xenons) I have to make relay connection to fix this problem? right?

Assuming the new HID kit works fine, if you install a relay wiring harness for the HID, then you will be powering the HID directly off the car battery and that should take care of any flickering or turn on issue.

Chris Biala I bought mine on Ebay. You can just search HID Relay Kit and you will find many.

I retrofit my lights on my 2007 Suzuki swift. Stock plugs are h4 and the projectors I retrofit are H1 bulbs. I bought a h4 relay harness,two ballasts and two H1 xenon bulbs. I put everything together and it works fine,except one thing. When I switch on my lights and close them after a while, trying to open them again only drivers headlight came on. If I try on/off several times the passenger side work too. I thought my ballasts are bad and I bought new ones. But still the same. Is that a problem with my relay harness?

Can you send me a link to this exact bulb?

I just installed after market headlight assemblys in my 03 golf and i can get everything except my high beams. anyone have a clue way ?

Good video sir. People doing installs (plug & play installs) with just the factory stock wiring may end up ruining/overheating the wires cause of what you said...the ballast uses alot of current to start up. And that is why you used relay harness because it uses the right awg. gauge wire for the ballast and it gives it the amount of power it needs to work.

@@galodoidousarenato5504 it should still work. My only opinion though when you connect it direct to the headlight plug, the stock wiring for the bulb may overheat and burn out the wire if the stock fuse does not blow because HID startup uses alot of volts/amperage it says on the ballast. I use a relay for my hid lights because I can hook up a bigger gauge wire to run my hids. The headlight plug runs to a relay, then the relay would switch on and send power from the other wire I use to power my hids. You should check out videos on youtube on how automotive relays work. But without a relay, your hid kit should still work. Just read the instructions...

Where did you get those HID kit please

Great video. Couple questions. I have concerns about reverse polarity with my HID kit, and I don't have a relay harness at this time. Question is, after I get a relay harness how can I tell if polarity is reversed? I don't want to break anything. Apparently I had it reversed in the past according to an auto electric place, but the bulb worked that way right up until the ballast fried. Second question, does it matter at all if you ground to the chassis or negative terminal? Is one preferred over the other? Third question (sorry!) My battery is in my trunk. The front module does have a big red positive(+) terminal that I believe is intended for things like this, but do you know for sure if that is correct?

Saw a post here, someone had both hi/low beams on the factory plug and they wanted to install both but this video was for low beams only. I would think if they wanted hi and low beams, they would need to buy a bi-hid kit for both hi/low beam and for the relay harness it may look alittle different I think, but basically the same thing here in your vid.

You said you were going to make a ghost shield for ones hid bulbs well I can’t find it help?????????

I bought A golf plus 2005. Its just failed its annual mot inspection as the law of these HIDs has changed here in the UK. To pass I need to remove the HID conversion back to the original. Any idea how to do this?

how do i know which relay and hid kit to use

I was following the same setup in my Hyundai Venue. But if I connect the battery line then I get a warning in console saying check headlight. If I give the headlamp line directly to relay and then connect relay to ballast, warning does not come. But I now face a new issue, the cut off line seems to be disappeared and the high beam from both lights goes to some top right in a wierd shape, no clue what's going on.

Do i need to disconect the positive or just conect the red cable on top ?

I have a Wrangler with 7" round hid projector housings that use rubber boots to seal the wire inlets. In order to get the bulb wires routed through the water-tight rubber boots, the bulb connectors must be removed. Does anyone reading this know how to remove the plastic AMP style wire connectors from these HID bulb wires? Thanks in advance.

quick question, what the hell is that connector between positive and relay, a fuse? Also, I see that one headlight connector plugs into the relay harness does that mean the other one is inactive/laying around because the one already sends the signal so the second is rendered useless?

@amozonkany

Yes it is a fuse. Yes one headlight connector plugs into the relay harness (normally the side closest to the battery) the other one is left unplugged, since it just sends signal from factory harness to relay so you just need to connect one side.

I have a hids for my low beam and they work great. But I tried putting hids on the high beams and don't seem to turn on do I need a relay to start up? Thanks in advance for the help

You can also remove the fuse from the power cable on the harness. This way no power is flowing to the relay switch and allows you to secure all wiring connections prior to activating the lights.

Great instructional video helps those who haven't done this prior alot, i have done them enough its pretty quick now however on my own car i need something extra i guess! My hids just one night decided to go out & continue this every night hete & there, the kicker is i had my car parked today with hazards on for about 45min-1h & the car was totally dead! It was so dead that even bump starting didn't work i had to get an actually boost, so i think i know why my lights suddenly started going out but i still want to wire in a relay. Can i just take a relay and make my conections on it or do i have to buy a harness, i only ask 1 because i'm short on time and can't wait for stuff to get shipped to me in Ontario Canada 2nd i have a brand new relay sitting in my parts crap so i could save time & money it i can use that one.
