ok do im a little confused on how im gonna wire the other set of HIDs, also what size bulb should i use? i was thinking do i just use the unused h4 socket to connect to a relay harness? how did u wire everything up? did u tap into any other power source. please please can u explain how u did it. i was seriously last night at ebay about to buy all the parts needed to install this. I didnt do it cuz i was not sure how i was gonna wire everything.

the ballasts i have are plug and play into the H4 sockets that came with the TRD fogs, there did not require a secondary power source. unfortunately i didn't keep the box from them to give you model numbers and whatnot. i purchased them from a local dealer of after market parts, and i specifically asked the sales guy for this feature. the only thing is they do have a wire that connects them both.

because they don't have a secondary power source they take a few seconds longer to charge up and shine at full brightness, but the install was easier, and i am a lazy man.

Now for the headlight HIDs i did have to get a secondary power source, but i just tapped that directly from the battery. my HIDs came with pretty clear and easy to follow instructions, and all the wires are color coded. also all the relays were already wired inline, so all i had to do was connect them to power, and plug them into the standard socket.

i wish i had held onto the instructions or something so that i could email them to you, but seeing as how after it was all wired up and it worked i put them in the recycling, and that's gone already.

they are H4 size, there are different bulbs, but they fit perfectly, and they just replace the bulbs. just plug and play, you could just do this in the parking lot, but it does requite the bumper being pulled off a little (i took it half way off and pulled it off until i could reach inside to unplug and replug everything) but once again, i am lazy. i think it would have been a bit easier if i had taken the bumper off but then i would have needed a second set of hands to help put it back on.

I had to take off my HID headlights cuz one of the bulbs died on me. i had used them for about a year so it was about time. So now im back to helogen, buy I already ordered my replacement bulbs. oooh i made some changes. I tapped into the parking light wiring so i can turn on the foglights when i tun the parkinglights on.
