All four of them lights are wired how? I heard you need even more stuff to use fog light hids. Like having two whole kits under the hood. If possable can you take a picture of under the hood so I know where I will place them.

So correct me if I'm wrong; they plug right in; but what plugs into them is a new wire set up with a extra metal box called a ballast in the middle area; and then you plug the new bulbs in to that other end.

/so basically like a extra wire in between the plug and the bulbs; just very long extra wire.

Sorry for all the questions brother. This is like a new language for me right now.

Ok a harness plugs into your factory plug then runs and plugs into the ballast. then theres another plug on the ballast the actual hid bulb plugs into. Make any sense? I can post pictures of it tomorrow lol

The way mine worked is a magnet energized when the high beams are on and aimed the bulbs higher. The stationary bulbs i have now are in between lo beam and high beam. When i put them in they were just straight highbeams but i aimed them down a little
