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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is the wire from the bulb ignitor, which you connect to the ballast.

This is the 9006 splitter. The single end connects to the OE high beam power source, and the split ends connect to the Bi-xenon solenoid pigtail of the Micro D2S projector and to the my Mini HB high beam LEd projector, or, to the halogen bulb socket if you're retaining it. It could also connect to a second bi-xenon or Bi-LED projector if you to do so. (Remember, if you're going with a second set of bi-xenon projectors, you will have to add a second harness and a second set of ballasts).

Once you have secured the projector to the headlights, you can install the ignitor. I find it's easier to install the entire projector with the bulb already secured to it and then connect the ignitor.

After you've removed the OE projector, which is held by two screws on the bottom and a clip on the top. Refer to page six, post 104 of this thread: I recommend that you harvest the Valeo projector to help you design a bracket. I used a 1/8th inch thick aluminum sheet for the bottom bracket and a dremmel with a cut-off wheel to help me fabricate that bracket. I also used a drill to make the bolt holes. The two wires that you see extend from the projector power the high-beam solenoid that lo
