Ballast installation

1. DIAGRAM FOR USE

As part of the installation process, ensure all connections “click” together with their respective plugs to maintain water-resistant properties for the connection.While the ballast does not need to be grounded, we recommend it. NOTE: We do not guarantee proper function without the use of an approved Morimoto wire harness or proper plugs pre-installed on the housings by us. The diagram below shows Morimoto ballasts, but this basic info applies to ALL ballast brands we supply with kits.

2. IGNITER CONNECTION

As part of the installation process, ensure the connection between the igniter and ballast box are fully seated, with the clip holding the connection tight. The igniter must be snug in the ballast output to ensure no damage results.

3. BALLAST MOUNTING

We recommend mounting the ballasts in the indicated directions to ensure no water penetration into the connectors. The connections cannot exit at the top as that causes water to pool up inside them. This is generally achieved by mounting the ballasts in ANY accessible spot behind or near the headlights that you see fit for your specific vehicle application. Optionally double sided heavy duty foam tape can be used to mount the ballasts to a clean metal surface.

Suggested spots: Radiator support brackets or metal tabs / frame tabs / fender walls (inner)

4a. D2S BALLAST HEAD

To ensure you do not damage the D2S bulb upon installation, we recommend topush the head of the ballast until it is fully seated against the bulb. Then turn the D2S head to lock it onto the bulb. NOTE be mindful that the tabs on the side of the bulbs must be fully seated in the ballast head prior to turning the ballast head to lock it. They are fragile and must be used with care. If you hear a “zapping” noise, the ballast head is not fully seated on the bulb and may cause permanent damage / fire.

If you hear a zapping noise, check the connections to ensure they are all fully seated.
