HID issue...

Hey, Im on my third pair of HID's.. For some reason the passenger side one blew twice. Now with this pair I noticed as I turned the car on in front of a store front, that the passenger side light takes longer to fully light up than the other. Could that have something to do with that side blowing?

Yup. It adds on to your current set up pretty much.

You can either take the wheels off and go through the wheel well lining or lift the car up in the front and remove the front shields below the car. There both pretty easy.

Ok I got that harness... Quick question, once I connect it there should be an extra wire left over hanging right? What do I do with it? Or am I looking at the diagram wrong and every plug will be plugged somewhere?

I'm thinking of the passenger side, since only one wire goes that way. Where does that plug into?

That plugs into the ballast on the passenger side if it's the connector that I'm thinking of.

Nothing. Grab a zip lock bag and tape it up.
