WIRING HARNESS FOR HIDs
WIRING HARNESS FOR HIDs
i have a 1992 maxima, and have used a few different pairs of 9004 blue HIDs. after several months of use, the high wattage of the headlights fries my wiring harness and one or sometimes both of my headlights will not work, and i need to buy new stock headlight adapters. i know there are kits available that up the power capacity of your car, enabling one to use these newer, blueish headlights. does anyone know a reputable place to get such a kit for a reasonable price? and some place other than ebay because i already have looked there. post replies or email to [email]mrsmooth15@aol.com thanks

check my page for a good writeup on how to make your own harness
if you're not up for that, just check local parts stores, they should have something there

I meant how can I have true HID without the $700 kit. Is it possible to rig it up DIY? It seems like you could get the proper wires and bulbs for a lot cheaper...

all the HID kit is, two ballast, two bulbs.. the stock 9006 harness plugs into the ballast.. and the ballast is connected to the d2s/d2r bulb...?
there isnt a way to get real hid, with out that kit.. so i dont know what your confused about

you cannot jerry rig a hid kit...well, you could, but it's not something 99.9% of the people around could do.
the starter and ballast are complex pieces of equipment. you're playing with lots of electrical stuff here, and it's not a good idea to atempt to mess with it.
if you want hids, go buy a kit.
