Once all the wires are run across, and the plug from the HID bulb is there, this is what you will have....
On the drivers side, you will see this bolt right on top. This is an excellent location for the ground that is necessary on the drivers side...
Now, still on the drivers side, it is time to mount the ballast for this side. I had to take into consideration the CAI from the Vortech, but the same would apply for the Bullitt CAI. This was the best location I could find. I bent the install bracket a bit, and marked the location on the wheelwell...
I re-installed the driver's side ballast, and secured it in place....
There are not a lot of options as far as locations on the passenger side. Same process, find your location, drill mounting holes, and secure....
Now, on the driver's side, take the connection that is meant to go to the factory headlight bulb, and plug it into the harness from the HID kit. Note...This same connector on the drivers side DOES NOT plug into a harness, and is not used....
There are three other connectors on the passenger side that all bolt up to the HID harness...
Finally, there is the plug from the HID harness that plugs into the passenger side ballast...
Now, repeat all the same connections on the drivers side. As mentioned earlier, the plug coming from the stock wiring harness that went to the factory headlight bulb does not get used. Zip tie this connector out of the way....
Now, reinstall either your aftermarket, or stock Bullitt CAI after zip tieing all the wires securely....
Make sure all the wires and harness are also zip tied and hidden on the passenger side as well....
Finally, replace your radiator cover, as well as your radiator extensions, should you be so equipped. Very clean install, and nothing too obvious screaming after market kit....
Here are a few shots of the finished product, in broad daylight. I will try to get some additional pics at dusk that should show them off a bit better.....
Hope this helps out somebody that does not have the stock HID's. It is a very straight forward install, and looks a ton worse than it really is.....
Good Luck with yours.....
Mike and Karen
