to be honest, i have those plug and play kits, they never have OEM specific plugs. Do this for best performance and logevity of your ballast. wire up a relay to power the ballast.

85 - Ground wire that is switched from factory headlight connector
86 - Constant 12v
87 - High Current 12v Fuses @ 20 amps
30 - To Postive wire (12v) of the HID ballast

and make a secure GROUND connection from the Ballast.

to test which negative switched is from the headlight wire, use a digital volt meter. Red to constant 12v and Black to test each pin. which ever pin causes your volt meter to read 12 - 14.4 volts, taht is the wire you will be splicing into.
