HID install - HELP
for those of you who have installed their OEM HID lights, what do you do with the green/white (low-beam - driver's side) wire coming off of the H4 plug? i've read dixit writeup and i didn't see where it should be spliced to.
correct me if i'm wrong, but there are 2(two) green/white wires...one that on the turn signal (TurnSignal blinker) and the other on the H4 (Lowbeam).

isnt' that the one to be capped off? meaning you don't use it? i take it you're doing the non-relay setup. If so, I believe Dixit's writeup says which two wires (1 on driver's side, 1 on passenger side)are not used. Try double check again, cause I think you don't use that wire.

Unused wire
i'll try the install without using that wire on the H4 connector.
i'm actually building a "patch" cord for the 2000 Maxima harness to the HID's. I didn't want to cut the connectors on the original harness. DaveB got me all the parts. i'll post pics of it when i'm done. many thanks to dixit for his work on the lights. very clear and straightforward.

check one of the HID write-ups for the wire colors... I don't recall...
The fogs are supposed to go off when you hit your high beams...

Now to answer the wire question, GREEN/Yellow - Ground (Driverside LowBeam) and BLUE/Black - Ground (Passengerside LowBeam) ARE NOT USED in my setup. just tuck them away.
The HIDs get power from the 12V wire from the H4 harness, and ground from the body.
Do not consfuse the turnsignal wires with the H4 harness. Make sure of this.
