I know Hids should be put in proper projectors but i stumbled upon some cheap halos and need some help.

Will the h3 hid bulb fit in the socket? How would I wire the hid to the headlight socket which goes to the existing wiring?

Attached is a pic of the wiring and and socket.

Thanks

What does h3 hid bulbs and halos have to do with anything? Lol but no you need a 9006 to go in the stock low beams. And you use a hid relay harness for connecting to the stock wiring

That housing looks like it needs a different bulb then the stock 9006 which is probably where he is getting the H3 from

Because the housing calls for h3 bulbs then have a harness converting them to 9006. Im asking if anyone knows whether or not the h3 hid bulb fits in that socket and how to wire up the hids.

Ah. The pic wasn't showing up when I first posted.

It looks more like a h1 to me. But if the housing days h3 then it's a h3.

If your putting a hid bulb in, then you will have a h3 bulb with amp connectors, those hook to the amp connectors on the ballast. Then you can plug your stock 9006 plug straight into the ballst. Or the preferred way is to use a relay harness to power the hid ballast

Yeah its says h3. The hids should be in Friday, any other tips about the wiring would be much appreciated.

It had a halogen bulb I presume, did the old bulb have a screw in it to secure it? Or just the fold over tab? Cause like I said it looks alot more like a h1 bulb socket to me.

Can you post a pic of the h3 to 9006 adapter. Particularly the h3 side? Just want to make sure

It is an H1 the lights came with a wrong booklet which states H3 should be used but the old bulb says H1

Here is the pic of the wire harness

Yeah thanks for the heads up, now wiring up the hids, what would I plug into the h1 to 9006 harness, the wire from the ballast?
