08 & 09 Mustang with Factory HID Headlights to Factory Halogen
Hello, I'm inquiring to try and solve a problem I'm having with my headlights. So my mustang came from factory with HIDs which have built in ballasts and I recently put new headlights on the vehicle that only have the option for a normal H13 bulb, I have been looking around the internet for a few days and can not find anything about how to properly setup the connections for a standard halogen or led to the HID connecter that is factory on the vehicle. I have also not been able to find an adapter or HID bulb that will fit with an external ballast. It's a very specific situation and most companies don't specify the types of connectors or uses for it which makes it difficult to order parts. If you can point me in the right direction to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

H-13 Repair Pigtail
If Memory Serves Back in the day when I was selling the Gt-500 Conversions a lot of the guys did not want to buy Gt-500 HID'S so they would go back to Halogen. It seems to me all they did was cut & splice the Pigtail and they were good to go. The Issue Back in the Day was the Guys who wanted Factory Hid's had to add a Resistor in their Wiring Harness so it would not backfeed. I seem to remember it did not matter when they were going your direction. Maybe Somebody else can confirm this as it's been 12 or so Years since I was doing those conversions. I looked for the old topic on The Wiring but could not find it. May come to me in my sleep! I will advise. That's how it usually works.
