i have the hidynamic system. i installed the system by connecting the left hid buld into the ballast and then into the left light housing and the same for the right housing.

ok, the better way to connect the system is to use a relay. here how mine is connected:
i have power wire from battery to relay to supply the 2 ballast, and i have my left light connector connected to relay also, that way when you open the light, it makes the relay open for power to your hid!!!

2 ballast

2 bulbs


when lights on, it opens the passage for power to ballast!
Also i have a fuse between battery and relay
If you have any Q or need help email me!
hope that help!

yes, but in this diagram you will have to use 2 relay, 2 power wirer, 2 ground and everything in double since you are pluggin 2 bulb duh!!!!
My kit came already wired up, and have 2 wire going from relay each one for each ballast, hence only 1 relay and 1 ground.
go read that, it is a great page that explain how relays works. http://www.teamrocs.com/technical/pages/relay_basics.htm

if you have any problem, dont hesitate to email me!
