OEM HID Headlight Install question

[turka]

Hey guys, currently in the process of installing the OEM HID Headlights I got and it looks like there is some rewiring needed for the plugs. :shrug:

Has anyone done this before or can link me to a write up? I need it to be for the OEM HID headllamps, I've found plenty of write ups but they are all for the aftermarket kits.

Thanks

I really just need the pin diagrams for the HID connectors.

Anybody?

I dont have any info to help, but thanks for being the guinea pig =D. I was dieing to do this but was told there needed to be rewiring done. I'll let you know if I find anything as I would like to do it too.

haha no problem, the headlights came with new plugs and a small piece of paper saying how to splice certain things, etc. but NO DIAGRAM and the wires on the new plug provided are all the SAME color so I have no idea what to splice to what.

I will be going to the Ford dealer tomorrow and asking to see the HID and non HID pin connector wiring diagrams then confirming with a tech that it is indeed the right way to splice them.

Im in the same boat man. The only wright up ive seen is in the link below. For some reason I have a hard time understanding the instructions, Prob because I dont have the headlights and connectors in front of me.

Worst case you can not use the oem ballast and bulb and just use the housing with an aftermarket HID kit for <$50. Just order the kid with a D3s style bulb and then it will be the same install as a regular HID kit, but you'll have the stock HID housing. I don't like the idea of wiring up relays and so on, seems like alot to go wrong!

^^^ good point. I want to swap to those housings as well, seems easier and almost better to just go this route? You can pick which heat range you want, and they shouldnt be over the top bright since you are using a real HID housing vs standard housing. Hmmm, maybe i should order these from tousley and do it!

^^ that's probably the route I'd go

Wait wait wait... I can order the OEM hid housings and just use an aftermarket hid kit??? OMFG this is great news, cause I wanted 6000k anyway like I have on my car now. My hid kit is already in and wired so all I would have to do is swap housings and bulbs.

i heard HID put more load on the motor, thus less hp.

HID use less power for the same light output. A 35 watt uses less power than stock, 55 watt is about the same as halogen.

A 35 watt 5K kit has more than enough output for nightime driving. My guestimate is that it is 3x better than stock.

Did you ever get this done?? Love to hear how it went

 

[grnenvy]

Yeah

I'm waiting also any new news? PICS ect.

Was a bitch, but we ended up figuring it out. TOTALLY WORTH IT!! No Ford dealers or Ford techs in my area knew how they would be wired up either since proper HID/NON-HID pin connector diagram's don't seem to exist - so we got the best directions on forums we could find and a test light and decided to wing it.

Found THIS THREAD and the OP's info (Read: first post only!) actually helped and is/was the correct way to do them - but was a little difficult to follow due to how he worded things. Just get 2 relays and a bunch of quick connects and some wire that matches the gauge of the ones on the new HID pigtail.

Here is a diagram of how the NON-HID headlight wires will be wired up to the new HID pigtail, just use this pic for how to wire up the NON HID to HID pigtails initially then follow the instructions on first post of link above for the rest such as wiring certain wires together, then connect to the relay, etc:

NOTE: The new HID pigtail wires are all the same green color. Just snap the new pigtail into the back of the headlight and go from Right to Left to wire up like picture above.

I unfortunately could not take proper pics that made any sense at the time (it was 4am when we finally figured it out and honestly all the wires looked the same to me) but here are how the 2 relays look like all done: :shrug:

Hope this helped a little bit
