Got my hid kit, did I just get screwed again?

Alright, So I finaly got my Raptor D2S HID kit from DDM Tuning which by the way, came 2 fucking weeks later after I ordered it with 2 day shipping... Anyway, I just was going to hook everything up and then I thought, "How tha fuck do I hook up the D2S bulb to the ballast?" Here are pics.

Everything that came in the little box.



I know that the left wire on the ballast connects to the stock 9006 harness but how the hell do I connect the ballast wires on the right to the D2S bulb?



Close up...



The instructions are also for freaking H bulbs too.. Is this the wrong kit? Am I missing anything? Did I just get screwed over again like with the 3 fucking intakes? Please reply soon, I only get the garage for 3 more hours...

you're supposed to have 9006 bulbs, not d2s or H1 bulbs. They plug up to your existing headlight harness, and those bulbs won't do that. You're screwed yet again buddy, sorry.

Forgot to mention, I'm retrofitted with TSX projectors. I ordered the D2S kit on purpose.

For mine i remembered the stock harness and the HID kit had to plug into one another, then a plug into the bulb. It looks like there's parts missing or something, like the last piece of the harness wasn't sent to you. I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be another harness piece that plugs into those 2 connectors w/the yellow ends on them.

What do you mean? Like, how do I drive at night? I did the little highbeam to lowbeam conversion. The lowbeam (9006) stock harness is plugged into the ballast.

Hmm, that must be it then... Hopefully one of the retrofitted guys can pitch in and confirm.

You are missing a D2S/R to AMP adapter. So...

You need something like this:

Here's what my connection looks like going to my bulb. There in fact is a harness that goes from the bulb to the ballast connector




I dont see anything like that in your kit though, so I'm perplexed on how exactly they want you to hook up the bulb.

Wow, after letting them have it on the phone and sending pics of the incomplete kit, they just now already sent out the D2S harness with a tracking number and everything!

Hello Fred,

Thanks for the photos. We will ship you the adapters tomorrow via USPS Priority mail. This should arrive 2-3 business days.


If your E-mail is URGENT, please call in. This is the fastest way to get your issue resolved.

(858) 565-1742
DDM Techsupport

"All good things come to he who waits."
Then an hour later they send me an email stating the situation and tracking number of the harness.

At least their quick to fix their mistakes... It's not over yet though... With my luck on the intakes, they'll probably send me an H4 harness or something...

Also found it funny that quote he put at the end of the email...
