I did a quick search and nothing came up. I have gen 1 projectors with HID's in the low beam and halogen's in the high. I have a set of HID's just sitting around and want to hook them up to the high beam. How would I go about doing this without blowing the harness to bits? I think both headlights run on the same harness if so, is there a wire I tap into?

 

well its basically the same as the kit you have running in your low beams.. do the same wiring with your relays etc only in high beams, then your set

 

you should have two wires going into your high beams, connect tthat to your relay, then your relay to your ballast then your ballast to your bulbs that you put in then BAMM HID HIGHS lol

 

i don't have a relay on my HID kit, they are running off the stock harness

 

well then just connect the ballast to the two wires going into your high beams.. basically skip the step mentioned with the relay above (even though i highly recommend a relay)

 

sweet sounds good. I might put an 10a inline fuse just in case. thanks.

 

Keep in mind that with HID high beams, you will be driving in the dark for a short while when you switch from low to high due to the time it takes for the bulbs to reach full brightness.

 

^this is also true..

 

yes but i suffer the same fate when switching from highs back to lows, what i usually do when its really dark, is keep both on untill the ballast's charge up

 

I was just gonna do say this. If you decide to do hid high beams, do the ultimate high beam mod, a how to can be found in the headlight and tail lights sticky at the bottom of the first post.

 

unless you get the relay kit to convert it where you flip your highs on and your lows stay on.My s-10 was like this.

 

how would i do that? wire the relay into the harness?

 

wire a relay to where you flip the highs on,it send voltage to positive on the highs and and positive on the lows.With the relay in there it will allow voltage to go to both light circuits only when the high beams are on.So when you flip the low beams on the relay is off thus the low beams being on.Make sense?

Edit:so you would use the high beam positive for relay signal,then positive output on the relay would go to positive on high beam ballast and low ballast

 

oh i get it. simple enough. any 12v relay should work?

 

yes.

 

There is a kit for s-10's.not sure if theres one for cobalts or if the s-10 kit would work.would be cheaper to do it DIY though.just get a 12v relay,wire,connectors, and have at it
