I know alot of guys have done it on here but there is no official "write up" for wireing this Ballasts up to work with both the high and low beam.

Im am getting E46 porjectors with ballasts and D2S bulbs to go with it.

Let me know guys.

Any tricks in this install would help too. Wiring, im ok with, as long as there is a diagram to follow and know what Im cutting and soldering.

I made this one a while ago i posted it but nobody wanted to sticky it....
so here it goes again

 

the key thing that saved me was a hole saw to cut a perfect hole in the back of the oem housing for the back of the projector to poke through, other than that its bolting em in, aiming em once then the minor adjustments come from the regular light adjustments.. as for wiring.. im just running the hids..so vamp clipped them and their fine so far.. for 2 months (knock on wood).. hope this helps.. if u need pics bro let me know

 

Are the E46 projectors a good unit to buy ?? Those bulbs I wont have to upgrade, will I ?? What should I expect to pay for the projectors, bulbs ballasts ??

I read in a post a while ago when I searched, that you have to run all new wiring when you do up the projectors. Im guessing I use the stock harness thats in the car, just cut, expose the wires and go from there or you have to go more into the harness ?? What wire is what

What size seleniod ? what size relay and diodes ?

Give this a shot matty, I used this to wire my setup.. The pictures might not be working anymore, bummer

Thats the same way I have mine wired up.

 

Since im running only singles, i plugged my Hi-beam 12v inline with the lowbeam and put a diode so it doesnt reverse charge.

Here are the pictures that are missing from that thread,

Thats a Single Relay, that first write up is uses a double relay ??

-matt

 

No, it is the same relay picture but I was referring to my setup of only using the single relay section and not the bixenon on the bottom right.

 

Oh ok...In my case with the Bi-xenon use the first picture with two relays ?
Essentially you cut off the 9004 connector, and use those wires there ? Whats high and whats low beam >

Pretty easy wiring scamatic. Alot of you guys get power right from the battery ?? And you must us an engine ground of chassis ground ok ??
The wires coming off of the ballasts, seleniod side, are the stock wireing for the hids, right ?

-matt

 

That diagram kinda doesnt help me. Im kinda reatarted when it comes to wiring. I have Two sets of wires coming out of the Ballasts, Both are made up of Red, Green and black and one goes to the black box and one goes to the Projector.

Can someone help me in telling what do I cut and what do I wire in relays and diods and cutting my stock 9004 harness off.

The e46 bixenons are different from other bixenon solenoids, it uses a weak ground/strong ground circuit. It's a little tricky to put together but if you look at it long enough it will come to you.

So you just cut our 9004 Connector off of the car, and what wire is high and what wire is low ??

-matt

 

I wouldnt cut the harness. Use a 9004 bulb instead, break the glass and solder into the internal wires on the base of the bulb, that way if you ever need to you can go back to 9004 by simply unplugging the 9004 wired bulb.
Use this post as a reference, just instead of a 9007 conversion your doing HID's. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....highlight=9007

When you do the diodes, place one in between the hi and low beam wires for each side. The diode should supply power from the low beam to the high beam. Make sure you check the orientation of the diodes output when you solder it in place..

 

I cant recall which is which, so I got this from Jsutters 9007 conv thread:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ht=hid+harness

Correct, you will be cutting off the OEM socket or in my case having a busted HID plug and play socket on hand and wiring from there. +12V is going to be directly from the battery since you dont want to fry your harnesses. Im not sure if you saw the link I posted, but here are some reference pictures.

Each Ballast is going to be sourcing its power through the relay(PIN 87) via a 15amp fuse inline. The ground from each ballast will just go straight to the chassis. In my case I had two grounds(G35 Coupe) and I just wired them together and connected it to the chassis.


Your ballasts are going to be powered via the relay(PIN 30) to a 12V source(battery) with a 30AMP Fuse inline.



As far as wiring up the BiXenon section, I will leave that to someone else but it looks just as simple as wiring a Single Xenon setup.

 

wow thats is some ghetto *** wiring... if ur looking for a short do it like that...

 

been using the same setup(little cleaner) for 3 months, not a single problem.

 

I dont see why it would cause a short as long asa the tube connectors are crimped tightly. Solder with heat shrink would be more ideal but the way that
gtr_rider has it should be fine. All of his connections appear to be covered, I dont see any exposed connections, other then his grounds but they should be fine also.

 

guys, those pictures are not even of a NISSAN, they are general pics i used from a MX6 club.

 

Do I need one Automotive Relay for my Wireing project, or two ??

Bi-xenon projectors

 

bump it up..I know many guys have wired up there Bi-Xenon Projectors, and have used wireing diagrams...please share

-matt

 

Using two Automotive Relays would make for a cleaner wiring setup, I would assume.

 

Did the link not work Matt, scroll down in the link to see the actual pictures of how to do it for the e46 bi. if not, just p.m me cause I can make one.

 

Your talking the pictures that are 3/4 of the way down on the page ??

You cut your stock bulb connector off ?
Two relays or one ?
