are these ballasts that require separate power and ground, and use relays? if not, you might end up with some problems.

they are plug and play. you plug your stock 9006 harness into the ballast and connect the power wires from the bulb to the ballast. thats how nearly all hid kits work

couldn't really get a good pic(camera phone), but here it is. I still need to aim them, they are aimed too high...ive already had several people flashing their lights at me lol. I'm going to aim them tomorrow while installing my hid fogs(10k). headlights are 8k.




i wish it was this easy to install them in the TA...ill at least have HID fogs on it though
