Which projector headlights...

Also did you install the hids with the harness or just tap into the headlamp plug.

k2 motor its a ebay company, i have the harness hooked up on the driver side but the passenger side is plugged into the factory harness and the brights work on that side

Is it posse to get some pics up...sounds to me you may have to wire up the drivers side..since the hids are plugged in... The hi beams use the common ground on the cars plug...

Tell me if I'm right. You got the halogen projectors commonly found on eBay. Like these

Or these

I'm assuming you got a 2gn Neon (2000-2005).

So you got a VVME HID kit for your low beams? Did you buy a wiring harness for it? Which connector style?
And you got the regular halogen bulbs in the high beams, right?

yes like those with a 9007 relay

The 9007 style harness is why it does not work.

IIRC, the projectors headlights use a H1 bulb for low beam and an H1 bulb for high beam. So I think there's a 9007 to H1 Low & H1 High splitter that comes with the headlights.

You should have got an H1 style relay harness and wired it after the splitter. That way when turning your low beam on, it would have triggered the relay harness to power up your HIDs in the low beamd, and when you would of used high beams, it would of used the factory harness for power.

It's an easy fix, you just need to change the connector on the relay harness.

Dunno if that sounds clear to you but to me it is lol

what do u meen my change the connector?

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:22 pm

Ok I cant get ms paint to work so Im gonna try to explain this

the connector from the car (original one) has three wires. the two outer ones are high/low and the middle is a comoon ground. I cant remeber the colors off hand but you will need to find the high beam wire and tap into the ground wire on the Original cars plug then connect it to the high beam bulb...

Im gonna try to get you a drawing of some sort in the am for you

Like so:

Thanks you... not being at home makes this difficult to easily explain LOL

so according to the picture
1+2 go to the HIDS

2+3 go to you High beam bulb

WALLAH!!!

soo confused

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 7:25 pm

ok the picture above is of the Original plug that used to go into your old headlamp.... now you have that plugged into the hid harness correct?

Yow will need to tap into pins 2+3 and run them to your High beam bulb. It should also be a two wire stup. If I rember correctly The wire colors on the headlight bulb are blue and black. If so then wire it as follows

Blue from the high beam bulb(+12v) to pin 3 on the plug

Black from the high beam bulb (-) to pin 2 on the plug

If thats still confusing feel free to text me as Im up all night.. Pm me your number

DO NOT USE VAMPIRE CLIPS! THEY ARE THE WORST THING EVER FOR SPLICING! Sorry for the caps but I needed to emphasize that and anyone else that has some electrical knowledge will agree.

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:03 pm

If you can get some nice butt connectors and heat shrink them sealed or if you want solder the joints together and heat shrink them

dub2333 · Post by **dub2333** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:20 pm

lol ok
so take the blue wire from my highs and join that with the high beam wire from my stock 9007 plug, then take the black wire from my highs and join that with the ground wire from the 9007 plug??
right?

They are called scotch locks, but yes, I completely agree. They are a quick and dirty way to tap into an existing line, but should never be used IMO.

I really did laugh at vampire clips. I'll have to remember that
