Ok maybe a stupid question, but I'm stuck and might as well ask. Maybe some others will benefit too.

I've got an hid kit from mobile hid with the relay harness and I've got the H11 bulbs to fit the 08 projectors.

I can see how to install the HID's easily without the relay harness, but I don't want to do that.

I want to keep the relay harness to safeguard the factory wiring harness. Now I just can't seem to figure out to make all the connections while retaining the harness from mobile hid.

Anyone care to help me out here? I dunno , just want to finish this install and be done!

 

I believe you need to cut off the H11 male plugs on your wiring harness and replace them with 9006 male plugs.
Or if there is a H11 female to 9006 male adapter them you won't have to cut anything.

 

If there are other plugs that don't fit I'm sure they make adapters for most of them.

 

yeah u have to get a 9006 kit and swap the bulbs with h11's, thats what i did when i swapped with 08 headlights

 

just ask for a kit with 9006 wiring harness and H11 bulbs. simple as that.

 

That is 100% Correct!

 

I have the 9006 hid kit and relay harness already from my 06 setup and I have now have the H11 bulbs.

the 9006 bulbs only have two connections extending from them. The h11 bulbs have the line to the ballast, the two plastic plugs (just like the 9006), and also two more metal prong ends.

I could hook them up right now without the harness, but I want to keep the harness for safety, especially since its a 50Watt kit.

Hope that clarifies? Where am I going wrong here LOL!?

 

well it should be connected like this:

H11 HID bulbs -> HID Ballast (w/ 9006 connections) -> HID Harness (9006) -> Factory Harness (9006)

 

thanks for the input guys, I've to be making a dumb mistake somewhere I think. gonna go back through everything tomorrow, but more input is always welcome!

 

alright got it sorted out, like i thought..I just wasnt thinkin haha. THanks equinox, followed what you said and all is good. For others who havent used h11 bulbs yet for the headlight swap, you only have to connect the 9006 style connectors LOL!! No wonder I couldnt connect everything duh

 

Not a problem, happy you got it all worked out!

 

good info.....will help me out when I make the swap too.

 

Ok just to clarify since i have the 9006 hid kit i just need to buy H11 bulbs and plug them into the 9006 harness and thats it? The HID kits are the same its just the bulbs are different?

 

Yep just buy the bulbs.

 

LOL I just saw the other post on page 3 of the aero and exterior forum. I searched and this came up. Oh well i got my answer. Thanks
