So how hard is the install on the VVME HIDs (headlights)

I really want to buy, but if its a hard install I might reconsider...

Did you get this resolved?

Its not to hard to hook up these VVME HID conversion kits, I've done a few and no big deal so far. I just taped into the factory wiring/connector as I did not want to cut the connector off in case I wanted to restore to original. Curious though as to why the hi/low would stop working...................Do you have a bad relay or loose connected relay?

How did you patch the extra relay in?

I've got a similar problem, but only on the driver's side. Passenger side flips fine, driver's side doesn't twitch (it was working initially). Double checked the wiring, nothing seems wrong.

I did it so all 4 come on at once. headlights on, fogs are on. i bypassed the foglight switch. the way i did it was i spliced the power wire from the drivers side headlamp connector and tied 2 wires into it. one to go to power for the ballast and one to goto power for the relay. obviously i cut the connectors for the H10 socket off to do this on the HID kit. for the drivers side light i wired the ground for the balalst to the fround wire from the headlamp connector. The drivers side foglight is now powered.

As for the pass side i wired the ground and power for the light ti the relay. I ran a ground from the relay to the car, and power for the relay directly to the battery. Now the pass side Foglight is pwoered as well. and your done


In retrospect, although i havent tried this to be accurate it would work, what i would do to keep the foglight switch active and worknig, is get 2 automitive relays and wire according to this crude diagram i whipped up.
