I am Thinking about wiring in some Aftermarket Xenon Bulbs,with Hella CasingsOn a Second Gen ..the Power is going to be More than What you usually Deal with ..80-100 watts..Does anyone have any ideas as to How to wire these up Onto a Separate wiring Harness(due to power,It may Melt the Stock harness!) but Run it with relays to Use the Stock headlight switch?..any info?.Leads?.Links?,Pics?..Thoroughly appreciated gentlemen..Thanks..Styx.

 

oh Come on guys!..If it had a Turbo in it..you would be all over this givin me info til it came out My ears!!!...OK..They are TURBO bulbs with Turbo Hella Casings!..anyone?..(even Ferris would be responding!..(hahahaha)..But I will settle for a Wiring Guru!..Thank you!..STYX!~

 

Pretty straightforward, Ground the negative post of each bulb, For headlights / highbeams, run a relay (1 for highbeams, 1 for regular) activated by the current power wire for your headlights, and then direct battery connection to the new ones.

Make sure to put a fuse in-line as well.

This way your switches still run your lights, and you get as much power as you want to them.

This foglight wiring diagram should help:

Forget the whole indicator thing, and to pin 85 is your current power wire that goes to the headlights.

Hope this helps

 

here i will help you out

if you are using true Xenon and not xenon style or look like bulbs

they will have ballast and the ballast will typically have a 2 wire plug in and big fat plug out which will plug into a D2S bulb typically

in either case you make seperate harness so u can still revert to stock by unplugging everything follow my pic here PM for more answers



just replace the H9 plug with your xenon plug

 

Thanks guys!..pretty well Spot on what I was lookin for..NO,the bulbs don't have a Ballast.the Set is out of a JEEP,that had these 80/90 watt HID's installed.The guy did alot of Rural driving,and DEER were Rampant.The bulbs Did Fry his harness a bit though,so I am not taking chances putting them In Until I know all will be OK to Install in the FC..I Would be Totally Pissed to have to scout through the headlight wiring,especially Under the dash IF the Install Was done improperly,..so I am contemplating on Doing it ONCE..The RIGHT way!..cheers guys.STYX!~

 

hey i have an HID kit for the fc, but one of the converter is not working for some reason. Its basically plug and play. The bulbs work fine. I paid 200 for it, would like to get that back.

lemme know.

 

no thanks Mike,thanks for the offer, but,I can get by with What I got..Hell I got Five cars Worth of Parts here..

 

if anyone knows of an electrician who can repair a converter, let me know.

HID do make the FC look more modern!
