Default headlight wiring question

So, I got an HID kit for my stock bulbs. Works great, set it up with a relay so as not to fry my wires.

Now I'd like to go for projectors (for the look, but also to cut some of the glare down). I was thinking of the sonar dual halo ones, with a different bulb for high and low beams. (I know I have to get a different bulb to fit these housings.)

The question though is how to hook up the high beams. my stock wiring is used to trigger the relay already. Do I splice off the stock wiring? Which wires do I use? Help!

When I bought my projectors they came with a wiring harness that just plugged into the stock one and had outlets so that I could plug in the highs and lows. Kinda like they did the splicing already

If you get the Sonar's, I got them and installed them yesterday, you might want to check the aim before you wire up the HID's.
IF they are good then the LO beam is a 9006 and the High is a H1 ( i think on the Hi beam).
The connector separated the hi from the lo.
Depending on how the connector sets up you will need to either rewire from the Three prong connector or the 9006 plug. Depends on which kit you have as well as how you decide to set it up.
I believe the easiest way is to get the 9006 plug adaptor. From what I have read it looks as though it would be a plug and play deal. Good luck!

Thanks for replying. Maybe a crappy diagram would help?



As you may or may not be able to tell, I have to plug the stock harness into the relay to get the low beams. I understand the sonar porjectors have a separate bulb to get the high beams, I'm not sure how I could set this up.

Is this more confusing with the diagram? Thanks!

All the dual bulb projectors I have seen will come with a built in harness that was mentioned your factory H4 will plug right in and the projector harness will split up the wiring to the high and low beam. You will have to remove your current h4 to HID ballast harness for this to work but when you get the projectors and know what bulb you are going to use I have relay harnesses that will make it plug and play for you..and if you need bulbs I have those too

This is something that someone who runs with HID's and Sonars is only going to be able to tell you. You will need to switch bulbs though. I know that the Sonars use 9006 for the LO beams. I'm sure the setup is not that hard but I really can't draw it out nor can I think it out. Sorry. If I find anything that might help I'll post up in the mean time GL!
