#89214, "Mcculloch hid install problem"


          

just ordered a Mcculloch HID kit, and i am lost as to where the black and white wires hook up too. where do they connect to the car? The directions are very vague and i am lost. i have the black as ground and i connected white from the kit to the white wires from my car and nothing. so i am lost. any help would be GREAT, since i have no headlights right now.
thanks

Hi...

I was considering this kit myself when I was looking for my HID kit... anyways... from what I know the Mcculloch kit is plug and play just like the kit that I bought... there should be a wire harness that plugs from the stock headlight connection in the headlight housing to the ballast, from the ballast there should be a connection that will connect to the igniter, and from the igniter there should be a connection that connects to the HID bulb... there should be only one way that everything connects together, meaning that you can't plug anything in where its not supposed to be... hope this helps a little more...

check this link to see what i'm talking about:

What year car do you have? I don't have any white wires in my factory harness. Here's a pic of my '98 wires. Maybe that would help. My low beam wires are black(hot)and green(ground).
