Default RE: DIY HID INSTALL on a 2007 V6

I have been running the Retro-solutions Bixenon 55w kit on 3 cars, no melting here. $180 shipped w/ lifetime warranty is a good deal.

It was a straight plug n play kit, no splicing needed.

Do the ballasts produce any heat? Don't know, and just curious.

miloman - I'm not sure if they produce a huge amount of heat. I know that they produce some. I'm not too worried about it. They are in the engine bay, they're made out of metal, they will get hot regardless. However, they do have to be kept under 105 deg. If they rise above that temp they will shut off. Air circulation is key to that problem.

tube - What are you talking about?I haven't copied anything...

Humm ... I saw on another forum a different wire connection:

black/blue
green/white
red/yellow

Source (http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showpo...p;postcount=97)

Which one is correct ? Probably both work but what is the correct connections ???

Default RE: DIY HID INSTALL on a 2007 V6

yeah, i noticed that... the way i did it in my write up is the correct way.esp because i didn'thave a yellow wire. If you hook it up that way nothing bad will happen/ but your high beams won't work. You'll hear the relay click but that's all you'll get.

FYI - in cars ground is normally a black wire (one of the 3 wires on the OEM ford headlight harness); In homes ground is normally a green wire. Brown is another wire that is colored for Ground. The HID kits wires are white/blue/brown. white is the low beam, blue is the high beam and brown is ground, brown = dirt/earth/ground

I still wich someone had a writeup for the V6 PP fog lights. I don't like having lights that don't match. Nice job though, I'll be borrowing this for my reference when i do this.

Kdr thanks to yourdetailed writeup I just got the VVME HIDs installed tonight and all I can say is wow! [sm=happy046.gif] There is an absolute hell of a difference in light output and the high and low beams work perfectly! The kit for me was a PIA to installand very timeconsumingdue to my lack of electrical systems skills, but if I can do it anyone can do it and now that it's done I'll never go back. Thanks again for the outstanding writeup! [sm=smiley20.gif]
