live to live and earth to earth :lol: sorry mate couldn't help it :D

when you look into the back of the headlight you see the brown earth wires connect the black wire to them. the red wire connects to a yellow wire that plugs into your original bulb :D

Stupid question time, is the hid just the headlight/mainbeam or can you get hid's for the fogs as well? Sorry for jumping in on the thread.

No worries mate, i tried to repair the wing mirror glass by regluing it in and made a hash of my first effort by pressing to hard when remounting and shattered it. luckily i had a spare :oops:
Hope you got all sorted anyway.

Me too...

The earth for your bulbs is connected to the bulb holder not the bulb... so i needed to use scotch locks to connect the earth... but the spade connector for the live just pulls out and plugs into your red wire in the HID
