How to install an hid conversion kit

Try to wear gloves while removing the bulb. In some vehicles, you will find a different housing for the bulb, So to remove the halogen bulb, you need to remove both headlight housing and the bumper together, which will take a lot of time. You try to remove the HID bulb from the plastic cover gently and insert the bulb on the housing. If by mistake you touched it, then you need to clean the HID bulb with alcohol.

Now place the HID bulb precisely in the same place where the halogen bulb was there. Then seal your headlight housing with a dust cover so that no dust will enter into the HID bulb and affect its efficiency. Now for mounting ballast, you need a bracket.

Brackets are readily available in the market. So, you can buy anything according to your choice. But never mount your ballast by drilling holes or with the help of tape. Again it would help if you mounted the ballast in a place that is away from moving parts.

Even the place should have good ventilation. Now you need to connect the wires of HID Bulb with the ballast and then connect the ballast to the stock socket. Now you test your headlight. If it does not switch on then, you can turn the adapter degrees. You need first to disconnect the negative terminal of your battery and then disconnect the stock bulb from your vehicle.

Then connect the black wire to the ground connection of your vehicle and the red wire to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the adapter into the relay harness. When you install a relay harness, it connects your HID bulb directly into the battery. So, your bulb will draw all the power from the battery rather than any other component of your vehicle. The relay harness provides a regulated flow of current to the HID bulb, which will solve various problems like flickering lights.

But if you install a relay harness, then you will not face such issues. HID kits can improve your visibility during the night so that you can drive properly. An HID light has so many advantages.
