Before you even start as a note. The circuit it self is kinda fragile just be careful not to drop it or break any of the components. Also when handling the HID bulbs themselves DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS ITSELF unless you have latex gloves on. Because the grease on our finger will ruin the bulb in no time.
First off here is the parts included. 2 ballasts, 2 bulbs, the circuit in the small box, a resistor, and the wiring harness.
1. First off disconnect your battery in the trunk. (if you dont know how to do this there is a few DIY on it)
2. Next remove the plastic cover that is over the positive post shown here
here is where it is located in the engine bay
Here is the cover up close
should look like this after removed
3. Next unscrew the bolt shown in the pic above with a 13mm socket
4. Take the thick red wire that looks like the one shown bellow with the ring terminal on it from the harness and attach it to the threaded shaft and bolt down the connection like shown above. Make sure it is pointing down so the plastic cover goes back on
( Part 4 Cont)
some of you with the newer style harness have a black wire for a better ground like this in harness.
Make sure to put it on a good ground like either of these. Both use a 10mm bolt to fasten down.
5. Next pull back on the tab and remove the windshield washer neck.
6. Run the wire in the wire behind the winshield washer tank neck and route it as shown. I put some wire loom to make it look cleaner. After running the wire this is how it should look
7. Next open the lid that contains your halo's bulb. Lift the tab as shown.
8. Next located the stock bulb you can see it here in the headlight are after the lid is removed
Twist it counter clockwise and pull it out like so.
Disconnect the factory wiring harness from it
Then connect the pin like connectors from the circuit that fit perfectly into the stock bulb plug. Make sure to connect the red wire to the yellow wire on the stock plug. And the black to the 2 browns. (excuse my slightly singed stock halo socket plug. I had my soldering iron on from making wire harnesses and it touched the plug.)
I also highly recommend after doing this to put a small piece of electrical tap around each pin after its been inserted into the stock bulb connector. So if they happen to come out the wont short.
Next your going to need to run The 2 wires from the harness that look like this
.....They may not be the same color but they will be labeled "TO GND ON CIRCUIT" (in this case the black wire) and "TO OUT ON CIRCUIT" (In this case the blue wire)
Run them through the car to the headlight area under the cars support bar like this.
And pull them through to reach to the headlight area
Connect the two wires labled appropriately to the circuit. All you need to do is loosen the 2 flat screws. Insert the proper wires into the circuit. And then tighten down the 2 screws on the circuit to hold the wires in. Here is a close up of the circuit and what im talking about. In this case the Blue wire to "OUT" and the black to "GND."
9. Next put in the new hid bulb in the socket.
This step is kinda difficult but i find it much easier to put the bulb in bottom first like shown here and use a screw driver or skinny object to maneuver the HID bulb into the socket.
Its going to take some twisting and turning around to get it to fit but trust me it fits.
Make sure you leave the plugs from the HID bulb outside of the cannister so the lid can go back on. Run the wires comming from the circuit in the same fashion. I notched my lid in the back as shown to be able to run the wires out. Just make sure you dont cut the actual rubber seal
This is how i placed the wires toward the back of the lid so you dont see the wires
10. Next connect the plug and play plugs from the hid ballast assembly to the bulb. Here is the balast plugs connected and ran underneeth the metal brace out the back of the lid...also run your wires from the harness to the circuit under here to keep all the wires hidden.
Also connect the plug and play plug from the wiring harness to the ballast looks like this. Be sure to use the shorter one of the two in the harness as the long one is to reach to the driver side.
10. After this tuck your ballast, wire harness, and relay away. I put mine here (yellow arrow) and it fits perfect. I placed everything here and its hidden.
11. Then run the other longer of the plug and play plugs shown bellow, in between the top of the fan shroud and under the cover.
12. Repeat the same process for taking off the lid exposing the old bulb, taking out the bulb etc. Put in the new HID bulb on the other side and hook the remainder of the plug and play plugs.
Place the resistor i supplied (and labeled for you) like so... into the stock driver side headlight socket. Doesnt matter which way or anything. But be sure to wrap it in electrical tape after.
Lastly tuck in your ballast under the air box assembly right here. You may or may not have to remove some bolts holding the air box assembly down. You dont have to do this but i think it gives it a clean stock look.
13. Lastly check all your connections and start up your car. Take a look and make sure your all done. WALLA! your done. Just tidy up your wires and zip tie any hanging wires.
Here is the final look at the engine compartment. Looks stock and you wouldnt even know there is anything new if you didnt know to look for it
Enjoy your new super bright halos!!!
