I have a basic question. So I went out and got myself an aftermarket ballast conversion kit. I know what needs to be done to hook up the HID's but I'm lost as to how to power up the new ballast. Where do I take the power source from? I originally took the power from the power feed powered up the old bulb but I figured since I may have had a problem with the old ballast, that wasn't the thing to do. Help!

 

ballast needs the two leads from oe connector for ballast

the bulb gets its power from ballast/ignitor line,,so you dont have power from the source right now

simple to cut and splice, or install spade connectors, to the new ballast wires and the cut off connectors end at oe ballast

my aftermarket ballast fit nicely on side of frame rail - secured with gorrilla tape and zip ties

 

each ballast needs to be wired to its own power supply
even has its own fuses and relays for each side

 

Thanks.... sounds like I need to take off the front bumper cover to get at those damn old ballasts.

 

thats the easy way to do the job
most of us go for an aftermarket kit and trash all the stock parts
Its time for bulbs too
