Hey guys,

I'm installing my HID kit and I cannot figure out where these red and black wires go. If anyone could point me in the right direction or attach a picture that would be great!

The wires



The back of the lights?

those red and black wires, are they on the ballast of the hid kit? if so, thats the negative and positive. you wanna take out the low beam buld (outer light) the connector that 2 wires on it, u can use those to connect to the 2 wires on the hid kit.


since it's aftermarket, if those hid ballast wires don't fit the stock plug, u can create a plug wires (break off the stock bulbs conectors and plug solder them onto the hid balast ones so u can plug in the ballast to the stock connector, or figre something out.

 

So I took the low beams out and I see that there are two black wires connecting to the low beam? This is wear I'm lost? I'm not sure where to connect the red and black.

 

Got it! Thanks race.

 

Be careful, the low beam connector on the Crossfire has a total of 3 black wires:
The single black is the positive
the double black is the negative

 

plug and try, i've connected a few hid kits from different cars, polarity doesn't really matter (you can connect the red or black to either pos or negative). the ballast is just a step up transformer, just boosts voltage to 1k or something. diff for diff brands.

if you wanna match pos with pos and neg with neg, get a voltmeter (multimeter), touch the points on the stock plug, it should read POSITIVE 12 or so volts, connect accordingly to the pos and neg on the voltmeter

post pics of what they look like

 

Thanks for the insight , have you ever installed HIDs on a XF?
or do you own stock in a fuse supplier company?
