Xenon HID Kit Install Help
I recenty purchased aH1 Xenon HID kit 10000K for my 2003 jag x-type to replace the low beam headlights. The problem is that the kit has two Wires for the power supply, one Red "hot" and one black wire "ground", but the factory connector only has one slot for one of these prongs. What I was thinking was that the Red wired be plugged into my factory connector, and that the black wire be grounded somewhere else in the engine compartment. Can anyone tell me if this sounds right? The last thing I want to do is fry my xenon kit or even worse the wires in the jag. Thanks.

Couldn't you have used the wires to the bulb as your positive and ground? I did a test last night and everything worked. Currently I have the bumper off and both headlights off the car. I would have completed the job last night but I didn't have any shrink rap. I'll take some pictures too! My kit is 5000k, I really need to see at night over here. I was so use to driving on streets with street lights until I moved into the sticks... Man it's dark at night around here.

Well mine are in and look great! All the pictures came out like crap, I have to figure out how to turn the automatic flash off on my wifes camera. Weird thing was it had the slash thru the flash icon - not sure why its doing that oh well!
What you did makes perfect sense! I cut mine off, the kit I bought comes with the rubber grommit, so I had to drill out the back of my headlight access panels, looks pretty sweet. I soldered the wires but the solder I had was way too thick and made it sort of a mission - but all is well.
Alignment is always a few days of night driving to get it right - How is everything on your end?

Glad to hear it all worked out for you. My kit came with rubber grommets as well, i drilled 1/2" holes for them. That sucks about your camera issues, my wife has a professional D-SLR nikon so I swiped it and finally got some picts. I Also Installed xenon whit led's in the inner headlight, the stock bulbs looked like ****!!!

Sorry I didn't let you know sooner, butI bought themfrom ebay. Check out this link, I got mine 3 days after paying for them. Just make sure you get the T10 bulb size aka 2825 so it fits into the headlight housing. Also, they were very easy to install just unscrew the rear cap reach in, pull the connector and bulb out replace with new ones and pop em' back in. should only take 2 mins. Good luck.
