I bought a hi/lo H.I.D kit for my mustang gt 1996,i did all the installation except for the pos(+) wire,i think i need a relay,because i know i can't wire the + directly to the batterie.I need to pass via the light switch.

In my instruction they ask me to install diodes and relay...HELP!!! i really don't know how to install those things and

what kind of diodes i need and where can i bought that? can i just install relay? one or two relay??

What kind of system did you get ? I have the 9007 in my truck and it was a very basic installation without the need for relays or diodes. Just asking because I've never seen a system that requires any additional parts other than what is given.

I attached directly to the battery for the truck. For the kit that I installed I didn't have to go into the cab at all. Everything was plug & play except the (+) and the (-) wire. Looks like they spent more money on the packaging than the lights themselves. h.i.d problem -- posted image.

I do, but do to the legality on this issue, I am not going to put other peoples lives in danger by giving you instructions on how to make a bi-xenon wiring harness, as the way you are doing it is illegal and HIGHLY DANGEROUS to other drivers!

This is exactly why they are illegal too, and I thought this forum was very strict about posting topics on things that are illegal!

and those 8000K lights do not produce a white light, they produce a glaring blue light which when driving with it for long periods of time will put strain on your eyes efecting your visibility. 4300-4500K is optimum pure white, and you should go no more than 5000K with a PROPER HID conversion!

If it's highly dangerous for other driver why is there a lot of cars with them on the road???

bmw,mercedes,volvo,audi,volks,and many more don't seem to think like you!

i think if the headlight are adjusted correctly nobody lives are in danger.It's not worse than those pick-up with their roll bar and push bar full of fog lights!

And i don't think we have the same law here in Canada about the H.I.D h.i.d problem -- posted image.

They have them because they were designed specifically for them. They use specially designed projectors to make sure the light does not go higher than a certain point, you would have known this if you would have watched the video. I am sure the laws on this subject are the same in Canada since they are the same here in the states and all over Europe.

mustangfoo is 100% correct. I have/had a conversion kit in my 06 Civic. They are coming OUT. They are the worst. I had my bro drive my car down the road, turn around and come at me......Good God. It was like looking at an arc welder. The danger became obvious to me at that time. And just wait till it snows....This last winter I was nearly blind from the reflection. My lights light up the trees about 15ft. up. (100 ft. down the road)
