hooking up HIDs

So ECaulk recently sent me back my lights looking amazing, but going through everything for hooking them up isn't there supposed to be a plug for the original plugs(you know the ones to the bulb) to plug in? I'm not finding anything......


all I have is this blue plug that's unaccounted for.... anyone?

I know when I hooked Lumens HID kit up, I only had to connect certain plugs to one headlight, and just the relay to the other one.

I think its normal, but not knowing anything about the setup, im not too sure.

Is it a Bi-Xenon setup?

Check here for instructions. Maybe one of the setups is the same and will work: Lumens Xenon HID Installation Instructions, Help and Hints

Well if you got your harness you only need to connect the drivers side and leave the passenger unplugged

That harness only needs signal from one headlight (just replied to your text sorry man clients on site and running a breaking down pilot plant).

I forget how complicated the harness is the first time, you need to ground both ballasts. I'll snag pics of the grounding locations I use, and as eddieavila10 said one hooks to battery should be marked with a + on the little plastic tag unless UPS shipping knocked it off
