Question about my new HID low beam/mini-H3 kit

Hey guys just received my 6000k prolumen kit and mini-H3 from Umnitza today(finally). I had to actually get an adapter like Umnitza told me, although they said I needed a "9006 Socket adapter". So I went around looking for it and I found one but it didn't look like it would fit. It's a female piece for the male piece to plug into.

So I went back to pepboys and actually found a 3A racing "heavy duty socket bulb adapter" in which it states "for use with 9003/H4 bulb" and it fits in the adapter coming out of the ballast but is it the right one? (not assuming so since these are H3's).

I just need some help -- how do I wire it? I know most of it is plug n play but i'm just confused and Umnitza is limited in their helping me...

thanks y'all.

bump. here's some pics to help demonstrate. your help is greatly appreciated. Umnitza seems to be lacking in customer service IMO...they gave me no instructions. I do understand it's plug-n-play but it shouldn't seem to be even this complicated...

THE SETUP:



HERE'S THE CONNECTOR THEY TOLD ME TO GET (DOESN'T FIT):



AND HERE'S THE CONNECTOR I PURCHASED (SINCE IT SEEMS TO FIT) purchased part on right side
"9003/H4 Connector" it's called... even though my bulbs are apparently H3??? Maybe Umnitza made me get this b/c they didn't have any more H3's and they just are inadvertently making me convert it on my own... i have NO CLUE



CLOSER SHOT OF THE CONNECTOR PIECE...WHAT WOULD I WIRE THIS TO??

To the poster, we have received your email, had you contacted us directly originally, it would have been resolved more quickly. Asking people to help is good, but when they themselves don't know the answers, it quickly deteriorates into people giving bad advice.

Attached is a picture:


#1 - You do not attach BOTH bulbs to the single connector. You should have TWO of these ballasts. Do you not have 2?

#2 - We apologize for not labeling the ballast properly! Our mistake, if you wish, we'll send you the decals.

#3 - That connector from the ballast has 3 wires, one of ground, two of which are power. The additional adapter you have there to the right with 3 wires coming off of it, attaches to the ballast adapter than plugs into the H3 power/ground wires from your car.

If you need additional SUPPORT please contact us directly.

Have you ever seen a H3 connector? And a H4 connector? If you can't graspt the difference between the two you have no business telling him he can't install it.

im not stupid habbie and man do u have some ***** for being a newbie just registered... some of us are better at some things more over than others. Find a better way to up your posts before you go out telling people what they ought to do -- all of this besides the fact that you're an idiot for recommending to acutally pay for install when in fact it's a plug and play concept...

and umnitza... response to my emails? u gonna send me the other ballast?
