HID Install (McCulloch)
Tools Needed
Yourself
*NOTE This kit DOES come with ballast*
Lets start off by grabbing our 9006 adapters that HondaBoi sends you
Place your wires in this adapter until they click and lock in
*Note: On the driver side white goes to red black goes to white, on the pass side white goes to gray black goes to white*
Plug your new plug into your OEM harness
All plugged in
Now connect these two connecters together
And your done! Place your new HID's in the housing and have fun blinding people.
Review
The kit HondaBoi sells is by far the easiest mod ive ever done to my car. You see we were installing my ZPI Stage 0 Turbo kit and we needed something to do while we waited for the oil pan to dry. I got it!! lets install that HID's that should take about 30 mins!. WRONG! It took around 3 minutes to get them in! Witch was a disapointment for us because for the rest of the 57 minutes we had to sit and stare at the sky
Here are some pics of the end result! Awesome lighting even with stock housings they project a nice vivid beam. I went with a 10,000k set so of course ive gotten flashed around 10 times today! But you can't beat the visablity these things give you! HondaBoi is currently selling the kits here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...502&highlight=

oooh, using stock 9006 harness to power HID ballast = BAD! buy or make a relay harness. melting the stock wiring is not fun. plug-n-play is just a marketing lingo
hmmm the 10k's are more expensive, why pay more money to buy dimmer lights?

Thats all well and good, but with no light balast, you dont have true hid's. you just have blue-ish prple-ish colored lights. unless you've stumbled upon some new technology, that the world hasent seen yet. if so, please let me know. or is there a balast and youve failed to mention it. or should i shut up,cause i dont know what im talking about, or am i right, huh???SNOWMAN

You only need one "Kaeon" to run the whole system

if you don't know how to make a make a relay harness, head over to www.hidplanet.com/forums, go to their for sale section and ask for somebody to make and sell you one. typically runs you about $30-40, or make your own for about $10-15. google is your friend.

To create a relay control for anything:
Connect the stock power wire that you are trying to protect to one side of the coil on a relay. Pick a relay which is rated above the amount of current you expect to draw by the load.
Connect the other side of the coil to ground. Without connecting anything else you should be able to power the original wire (the headlight switch in this application) and hear the relay switch on.
Connect the new load device (the headlight ballast in this case) using the proper size wire directly from a battery positive source to one side of the NO (normally open) relay contacts. Using the same wire, connect the other side of the NO contacts to the load (ballast).
Install the HID portion and hope the heat doesnt ruin your stock housings after a few months.
