Default Need some help installing a relay

ok, so I have a relay I want to install for the halo hid kit I purchased.

I have the relay, and directions, but the directions sucks, and the better ones I've found are for a slight different size bulb.

If you scroll down to almost the bottom of this link you'll find a DIY for the relay I bought, being added to a halo hit, but the car its installed on is a Tiburon. Any ideas how I could modify this to work with a tC? Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated.

i looked.. but am still slightly confused..

the halo hid kit you bought is for 9006 i assume.. but you have a tiburon's relay harness?

shooting a bullet in the dark.. i'm thinking you can buy 2 wiring harnesses for 9006 bulbs (not expensive at an auto store) and wire them to the harness.. and which then you can connect it to the battery and to the HID plugs.

Yeah, I know zero about relays, and when I asked the person selling these HIDs, he suggested the person who I bought my relay from. I asked if anyone with this relay had a DIY and he pointed me to the Tiburon site.

But you're right Squal, the tibs use a entirely different harness for the lights, so the thing I have needs to be modified. But if I can simply go to autozone (for example) and pick up my own relay kit - I'll try that route.......

ok, here's the relay........


and here is the problem. as you can see, the ends of this relay don't match any of the connections for our lights. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest an adaptor for these, as I don't want to have to solder anything....


on the tiburon lights it was possible to make the connection this way


but our harness connections are just not compatible...


Squal do you think an auto supply store would have a harness that could connect the HID power supply to the relay? I'm also wondering where the ground would go.....bah! F- to this relay.......
