Exclamation How do you install these HIDS???!??!?!

I got my HID's from Xenon Depot. Its the 6000K conversion kit.

What plugs into what??????

This is very important I need to do this before I can leave! PLS post methods of installation. I plugged the ****** together three ways and nothing happens. Do I need the harness, if so what do I need to connect?? I am so lost. They didnt include any instructions or anything.

Where did you get the HIDs? I have been looking everywhere for some that work on camaros. Are yours universal since they have to be wired or are they specifically for camaros?

This site sells a conversion kit for HID, say's it will work for Camaro also, but I haven't heard anyone install them.

Did the kit come with connectors seperate from the wires or are the wires already connected? If they are seperate, you need to put the positive wire in the connector on the positive side, and negative on the negative. Just look at the stock connector from the car and you'll know which side is which. If the wires are already connected then it should just plug in. Sorry if it sounds complicated, it's hard to explain online. PM me if you have any questions. I can get HID kits in any bulb size, brand new in the box, from 6000K-10000K. PM me for more information and pricing.

Did you not get instructions from the manufacture?

I got it done thanks to just trying it different ways. I will NEVER deal with Xenon Depot again. I was charged the day I ordered, then backordered for a month and a half, before they promptly lost my order, then after telling me they were sending it next day, sent it next WEEK, and when the damn thing FINALLY showed up it had NO directions. it was disgusting.

again, I will NEVER deal with them again.

P.S. I can finally see at night though now.

Hey brad,

I've run into the exact same problem! Can you tell me what you ended up doing to resolve it?

Thanks,
