How to Install HID Headlights - Lighting Up The World

Don't forget to connect the single wires and push the provided boot over the connection to prevent shorting. We used a tie-wrap to hold it out of the way of the headlamp during opening and closing.

Once all the wires are in place, connect the wires to the ballast. We found that if you install the connector with the red and black wires incorrectly, you won't have any lights. The battery and ground supply wires to the ballast should be installed with the red wire on the inside next to the inner fender and the black wire out. The upside is that installing the connector incorrectly doesn't hurt anything

We removed the coolant reservoir to run the wiring under the reservoir. There was no need to remove the coolant hoses with the screws removed. The reservoir moved out of the way enough to allow us to position the wires properly.

The coolant reservoir was now loose, and the battery protector was removed to route the wiring under the battery tray. The battery protector uses a plastic pushpin along the windshield edge to retain it, and it pops out easily.

The wire connectors are provided and should be crimped on with a proper crimping tool. The battery wires are then connected to the stud on the fuse panel and tightened. Watch the positioning of the terminals so the plastic cover can be reinstalled. Remember the stud is battery power hot all the time.

As you can see, our negative battery cable is still disconnected. We're doing the final wiring connections at the frame ground stud. The black wires are connected here, and then the previously removed battery protector sits down on top of the stud.

At this point, we are just about finished with the wiring as we tied the cross wire harness in place with the provided tie-wraps. Be careful around the hood hinges as the wiring can be pinched if left unsecured.

Here's where you need to be extra careful. You need to install all the screws first, then tighten the screws. Once the screws are tightened, manually rotate the headlights down into position to make sure the cover is in the correct place. There is a little wiggle room if adjustment is necessary.

The Vette-HID headlights look cool and turn night into day easily. The lights come with a 3-year limited warranty.
