Hey I just bought a 93-97 HID Kit from Speed INC. http://www.speedinc.com/catagory.cfm?catagory=Lighting and I need to buy a Relay kit for it since for some reason I do not have the fuses nor the wiring in my relay box for the stock headlights.

Does anyone know of a relay kit I can buy that will work with this one?

I know nothing about HIDs so I'm asking since I'm a noob with electrical

Link does not work. I have a 97 and got my hids from ledgauges and I didn't have to upgrade anything. Altho the plug that connects to the ballest box is backwards so if you hook them up the correct way and they don't work plug it in backward

Okay I will try that tomorrow when I wake up. hopefully it works. btw what type of bulbs come in the HID kits for us LT1s? I just want to get a relay kit also just to keep the strain off the car's stock wiring.

Not sure what bulbs, it's funny you would have to upgrade the harnest because hid consume less power

i know digital HID that I bought draw 6amps on startup and 3.4 running, what do normal halogens draw on startup and running?

For my HID's I used a kit with 9006 bulbs in the stock housings. Plug and play, 1 year with no problems. I work at night and use these everyday, great upgrade from stock....

Didn't your factory lights work? I don't see why you would have a problem if they did.

Not to jack your thread but I have a new set from speed for my 97 formula if anyone is interested. they're $199 on thier site, $160 shipped.

It should be 9006s.

how does speed put a hid bulb in the factory housing? do they or do they make new housings? anyone got pics of their kit?

bowtie_racer

They come with new housings, but I think they only have a kit for the low beams.

The factory lights worked but when these weren't working in my car I checked the fuse relay thinking maybe I blew a fuse but there was no fuses in the the front headlights nor any wiring there for it, so that stumped me idk how my stock ones were working without that in there.

I'm going to order these to hook the HID straight to the battery

Kinda pricy but if it get them to work ill get them.

Going to go outside see if it works if I switch the plug around.

That solved it!! it works for me too when I put in the wire to the ballast in backwards, I wonder why tho.

Coltf1991

A lot of ballasts are like that. Its a polar connection like an LED. If it doesnt work one way flip it around an plug it in the opposite way. I used to install these all the time at this shop I worked for and its amazing almost every car was backwards.

$50 DDM Tuning HID kit and about 15 mins install time is all it took me. No need to make it more expensive or harder than it should be

i thought the bulbs werent replaceable in stock housings...so how did yall stick bulbs in them?

bowtie_racer

Just took a screwdriver and popped the old bulb right out of the housing.

To answer this question. Gm's lights are hooked up in reverse polarity. All gm's halogen headlights work no matter what way they are hooked up whether they are pos to pos or pos to neg. The new hid kit you just put in has to be pos to pos and neg to neg in order for it to function.

I couldnt stand plugging mine in backwards so i used a larger sized paper clip to remove the factory headlight wires from the factory connector. I then just put the wires in the connector the correct way.
