After mounting the headlight this is the look. On the left, the D2S Micro 5.0 bi-xenon projector serving low beam and high beam duty and on the right the Morimoto Mini HB High beam projector.

On to the wiring, This is where I secured the harness relays. With a ballast extension wire, you could relocate it next to the brake booster, which I considered.

The harness itself also has a positive to battery and negative to ground terminals. I attached the positive box's positive strap bolt, and the ground to a shock tower bolt.

Which is why I opted for this arrangement. It doesn't splice into the factory wiring. Instead, a fuse tap on fuse #6 receives the positive electrical signal sends a positive charge to the OE Valeo ballast that goes on to then power the HID in normal circumstances.

That fuse tap is grounded to the shock tower bolts and connects to the 9006 socket below that is connected to my harness's 9006 OE input.

Each ballast is accessible inside each headlight's bulb cover, as seen here.

If you look closely, you can see that I routed the harness wire to the passenger ballast beneath plastic trim that sits above the radiator. I lost one of the torx bolts smh.

It really doesn't matter what OEM input harness you're buying if your car had the OE D1S HID system from Valeo. However, if your car came stock with halogen, then you want the harness for an H1 OEM input. The OE input in halogen cars will plug to the OE input for the halogen low beam bulb. In the case of cars with HID, we have to find a way to wire the harness to the OEM input that comes from the fuse box.

Yes, I’m concerned about that fuel line. I told him about it.
