OK, just got my new H11 bulbs(had 9006 for last car) and gonna reuse everything but the relay harness kit since i ordered new to match the H11 factory plug but wanted to see how everyone is doing theres? I forgot that these cars have the cups around the headlights so how are you running your wiring?? This is the first time installing HIDs into a housing with those cups and there isnt alot of room so i wanted to see how you guys are doing it on the 6th gens and make this a helpful thread like the 7th gens have whether you use PnP(Plug and Play) or Retrofit with projector headlights lets see how everyone is installing kits
Alittle about me and my plan
My plan is to splice in a new H11 plug in on the driver side wiring BEFORE the headlight housing and that will power the relay kit for ON/OFF power and run the rest accordingly OUTSIDE of the headlights and then just have the HID bulb wiring going through the cup with a hole drilled and use the grommets you usually get with the HID bulbs so the headlight is still sealed BUT have any of you just taking the low beam cup off and ran your lights like this or are you/or would you get moisture in the housings?
I have done many HID installs(2005 dodge ram, 02 Pontiac Grand Am, 2004 Saturn Vue Redline, and 1998 Saturn SL2) with all but the 98 SL2 needing additional work like the resistors on the dodge due to CAN BUS wiring, Grand am had the SVS(service vehicle soon light) with HIDs due to the wiring harness only using the 1 plug but he didnt care since he had HIDs)
AND YES, i did use the search and even read most of the pages in the 7th gen HID sticky thread which everyone points to for HOW TO info but there wasnt anything on the 6th gens but shoot up some pics or post links and we can start a thread for the 6th gens. THANKS GUYS/GALS
