How do just recieved both my depos and 10,000k h7 HID kit :cool:
Sounds a bit gash I know but Just spent a fair bit on these and dont want to break either so best ask ehh  :embarassed:

Just want to clarify realy that Iv got it set up right, as it seems weird that theres no power needed unless its linked somewhere in the actual headlight that then connects to the original lighting plugs in the cars loom!? and Dont even get me started on the instructions  :rolleyes:

So I presume these spade connectors go in here!? not sure what that other wire and connector is for (can someone point me in the right direction!?)


with me thinking this is the finished article!?


thanks guys and girls

That looks right to me, they are powered in the same was as all other bulbs in the unit, only you have the ballast to ensure the current is consistent.

The white cable is for the motor to adjust the beam angle, before you fit the lights make sure you change them to RHD otherwise you'll blind everyone!

all connected correctly and the other wire connects to the headlamp adjusters, that look like the following.
