Default I haven't found one

I may be wrong, but from what I have been reading you have to wire them because then need more power then the stock wires provide. So they just power directly from the battery.

I found a really good video of an install from a professional on a mustang but was not able to find it again. Here is one on a 2007 F-150. Pretty Decent.

all the harness is is a relay and power to the new hid bulbs and ballasts the only wiring i had to do was connect a ground on each side for mine!! most kits i looked at were just like the one in the video above so idk what kit you got that would require any kind of actual wiring bessides running a relay harness to the lights?? do you have pics of the kit or anything?

this is what my kit looks like all the wires in the box are just the relay harness..
its a relay with 2 wires that go to the new ballasts and a power wire to the battery than one that connects into the old headlight bulb connection!!

Default Same

That looks like it is the exact same one they put on in that video with the mustang (mustang has H13 headlights). All you have to do is hook up the battery and ground. Then I think you only hook one ballast up to the stock harness and tape off the other light connector, or something funky like that.

update:
Found the video

I am really curious as to how the HID's are going to look and perform in the new housings.

They were great in the 04-08 stock lamps and didn't glare too much,but with the 09 stock lamps and think the light will scatter too much and have less output than the stock bulbs.

I could be wrong though.
