Tips on a HID 9007 rewire? I have this problem where sometimes when i turn on the lights one or none of the headlights turn on right away. I sometimes have to turn the headlight knob a couple of times to work. The instructions didn't say which is high/low beam and which one is constant power. I was guessing that the constant power was the middle input on the factory headlamp socket/harness. What type of relay would i need to rewire these HID's, knowing that the instructions call for a 20a fuse.

I got the kit from zzp.

I have this problem where sometimes when i turn on the lights one or none of the headlights turn on right away. I sometimes have to turn the headlight knob a couple of times to work.

^^^This is due to lack of proper voltage getting to the HID ballasts...the stock wiring on the GP SUCKS...the HID's pull more power than stock headlights at initial startup...and stock wiring will not handle it...you MUST get an upgraded harness...I have never seen/used the zzp one...I don't know if its the single HID, Bi-Xenon (HID lows & highs) or the combo HID (low)/halogen (high) setup but either way the single best place to get an upgrade harness hands down is here:

single HID HARNESS: 3B Specialties : HID Relay Wiring Harness

BiXenon HID HARNESS: 3B Specialties : HID Bi-Xenon Relay Wiring Harness

if you need an HID low and Halogen High harness which I don't see listed on their website...just email them or call them and tell them what you have and they can probably help you.

The instructions didn't say which is high/low beam and which one is constant power. I was guessing that the constant power was the middle input on the factory headlamp socket/harness. What type of relay would i need to rewire these HID's, knowing that the instructions call for a 20a fuse.

As far as reference to which wire is what...you will need to use a DMM (digital multi-meter) which can be bought at walmart, lowes, home depot, etc. (cheapest will work for this if you have no plans of using one again any time soon....I have a nice one as I use them fairly often), to check what wires are what....you'll need to ground the black lead on the DMM to the chassis of the car (unpainted metal to ensure good contact) then with the headlights on (low) use the RED lead from the DMM to probe the stock wiring harness to find the "Hot" wire. now turn the high beams on and re-probe the harness again until you find the "Hot" wire. Once that is done the only one left is the GROUND wire....now just compare the factory harness to one of the vehicles headlight bulbs to find out which spot/contact on the Bulb/HID connector is for the low beam and which is for the high beam. I am not sure you will need to do that as it sounds like its wired properly, but isn't getting the voltage it needs.

Hope I made it simple enough to understand and hope it helps ya! Oh and I have the above single HID wiring harness and its a great product...I highly recommend it.

also how do i know it my kit is the tilted one??

please help me out thanks alot

Most likely, the kit was wired for 9004 specifications. Do you have the instructions where they point out which power wire color goes to where?

I bought my HID kit for $175 and its a 9007 8k and only low beam... I have a 99 Grand Prix.. is this HID low beam really Brighter than a normal high beam? I just hate thinking that there might be a time where i would want to use my high beams and then try to use them and then find out that i dont have any. but...... at the same time so far a havent found a need to go to high beams yet... seems like these are pretty bright as it is.... And are these even legal to have on the car? So far i havent gotten pulled over yet so thats nice...

I didn't want to go through 6 pages LOL

Anyone know the bulb for the EBay Projectors? I have some and were wanting to install HID's. I thought that they were Sylvania Silverstars 9004?

Someone lemme know...thanks...

Don't even bother buying this ebay kits... if its not good quality the ballast are not going to last more than few months. First of all you need to get the wiring harness to hook up right to the battery, after that you need to disable the DTRL

Day Time Running Lights in order for the ballast to get proper power otherwise one will not turn on. I did this on my GTP and still sometimes one will not power on.

okay.....Im picking up an 04 Grand Prix today, want to get an HID kit.....lots of info here.....but what is the "BEST" kit???

Well after reading and having a few people I know not have good luck with the EBay HID's...I am gonna get some quality ones...

Just need to know what damn bulb came in the projectors since I thought they were 9004's...but I am not sure...

The projectors from ebay ? they use a smaller bulb not the stock one.

Yeah...I know. I pulled it out it just didn't have any indication of which bulb it was on there.

[offroadfury6]

probably the kits off of ebay....cheap, and easy to find...plus i think most ppl on here have the ebay HID kits

[Bio248]

all the kits are the same..all of them..

the part that matters is the harness. get a quality harness and everything else will work out fine.

so a harness like this?:
3B Specialties : HID Relay Wiring Harness

is this just plug + play like the HID kit?

Yeah, the red wire goes to your battery and the black to a ground source ( make sure you scrape the paint well ) but I have hear that if you hook it up to the ground on the battery is better. I don't know what kind of relay you are going to get but mine had 3 10 fuses and one relay. You are going to have to splice into your stock headlight wiring to get the signal for the ballast to turn on.
