Help installing HID's
Is there anyone in the bay area who is free to help with some HID installs? Lost the damn installation instructions, that and I have no damn idea when it comes to the electrical portion of my car.


Beer will be offered

Looking at what I have:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12397062/20...2021.44.19.jpg
What does that female harness from the relay connect to? I know the other 2 are for the ballasts


https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12397062/20...2021.44.52.jpg
And for the bulb itself, what are those unused set of wires?
