HID Installation

[BKShockey17]

So I attempted to install my HIDs in today, but it didn't work. I did buy the warning cancelers and installed them as well, but it didn't light. I looked at How To: Install HID Headlights on a Challenger SE and noticed that it said that I needed to splice the wires into the headlight plug. Is this really necessary? Is there an adapter of some sort to avoid the splicing of the wires?

You probably could make up an adapter, but it's extra money and effort. I doubt you'll find one premade.

I assume you did connect the ballasts to the bulbs, right? It probably wouldn't be good for the bulbs if they weren't getting ballast power.

[BKShockey17]

Yes, I did connect them. I guess all I can do is splice the wires then..

There Isn't any true Plug&Play Kits available?

[BKShockey17]

Guess not... Mine looked like plug&play, but it didn't work.

I have had HIDs on my Challenger for almost 4 years now and it is a true plug and play kit.... I even have them on my fogs as well! You might of installed the kit up wrong!

Make sure the + goes to +.. it isn't labeled on most HID kits. Try flipping the plugs around on the ballast.

Whenever I have done an OEM integration with a harness I always try to cut the wire in a place where i can comfortably strip and reconnect the wires back together and be able to heatshrink it. If you can get a hold of a connector that'll fit into the stock one that is even better.

I didn't have to splice any wires for my RT. The kit I purchased from DDM was plug and play, with the harness they provided plugged right into headlight plug.

I bought the xentec kit for mine and I had to splice the wires...had I known there was a true kit that plugged into the harness I would have bought that kit instead
