HID Install in process. Help?!? Where do these wires go?

[Bryansan]

No clue were these 2 wired (black, red) go. I have them "leftover" on both driver and passanger sides. Trying to hook everything up prior to install just to make sure it works. Help?? I'm doing this install right now, so any help would be great!!

it goes nowhere, i cut mine out. As long as your all hooked up and everything works your good to go

I have everything temporarily installed, and nothing works lol. I don't see how I could have screwed anything up. Everything has a place. cry. still working.

flip the Factory harness into the ballast, you probally have it reversed

Just a thought!
Did you try to meter them yet? See when or if you get voltage across the leads (IE - parking lights / low / high.
Perhaps there leads are for aftermarket projection with angle eyes (moons).

u dont need them look like u have them pluged in were is the in put wire from ur headlights?

So I did some more headscratching, and I think I'm just retarded. I realized that I wasnt using the factory OEM power supply (cable that was originally hooked up to the headlights). But the directions said to plug the female connector to the male OEM supply. I did that, but the female wire harness connector only has 2 contacts in it, were the OEM connector has 3. I tried it anyway, and still nothing.

Here is a pic of the female connector (the only female connector) from the wire harness, next to the oem headlight connector. They dont mate.

Ok, problem solved. I didnt order the bi-xenon kit. only the "low" kit, so thats the reason theres no 3rd leg to the harness/connector. Sigh. Way to go noob.

More info. I picked up a DVM and verified that I have 26v coming from my factory cable. The form factors do not match for my wire harness and factory cable. I was able to rig up some wire to make it "work", but it's Micky Mouse at it's best. I looked a bit at DDM site and realized the harness I ordered (which was the only one available) is a Dual in, Dual out. I don't see how I can make it work unless I get new connectors, but even then, I don't think it will work properly without the 3rd wire. I'll talk to DDM tomorrow and see if they have other harnesses, but other than that, unless I'm missing something all together, my setup wont work.

Did you have any luck with DDM? I'm going through the same problem. They didn't send any wiring diagrams. I ordered the H11 which was meant for a 07 up tahoe but should have ordered the H13 for 07 up yukon. I've ordered the new bulbs but I still don't see how the wiring harness will hook up to my stock connections. I thought I order the only wire harness available.... Did they have another that is for a yukon?

 

[Bryansan]

I returned the bulbs and harnesses as I ordered the incorrect ones. Brian from DDM San Diego told me I needed the HI/LO bulb, not just the LO as I ordered. I'm waiting for them to come this week, then should be plug and play. The harness has 4 strands. 2 for pos neg on battery, and the other 2 for the bulbs/ballasts. It's all keyed, so it should be fairly easy I assume. Im just debating on now whether or not to pull the front fascia to hide the harnesses.

Yea I'm sending my H11's back since I ordered the incorrect bulbs too and hopefully i'll be getting my new H13 Hi/Lo's this week so I can do the install sat. DDM told me that a new harness comes with the new H13 bulbs so hopefully that will be plug and play instead of the confusion i had before when my rookie self ordered the wrong bulbs (should have done more research but oh well). I did install my fogs H16's and I haven't noticed any melting so far. I planned on running my harness behind the facia as best as i can to hide when I get the H13's. Good luck to you on your install.
