It should be pretty straight foward. you only have a power and a ground on the ballasts. and on youre stock headlight harness, ground is black, and power is green (if i remember right. i have my ballast hooked up to the stock harness with no problems. you can cut and splice the wires if you know that you wont be going back to stock. or you can track down some pins that will fit with the factory connectors so you can always go backwards if needed. oh, dont mess up the polarity of the ballasts. some have an internal fuse, and its not serviceable. if you blow it, you might as well throw it in the trash can. good luck

you need to plug every thing up, and stretch it out so i can see where they go. its hard to tell by that pic. did your kit come with any instructions? what bulb style is that Gtec kit for?

you can do the same thing rollmodel is doing, convert your stock sealed beam lights to to a plastic style lamp with an actual bulb in it, and then get a kit for that style bulb and hook it up. its not the best route to go though. the actual light output usually leaves something to be desired compared to a projector style hid setup. anything is possible though. a while ago T/A owners didnt have any options and now there are quite a few rolling with hids, and some with projectors. (i like my bi-xenon setup best though)
