Yup yup. Sooooo, if someone can live with seeing the message at start up, going to halogens is a cheaper but effective way to go. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Sorry for taking so long but I hadn’t seen the car for a bit. Lol. This is the only message that comes up when you start the car. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Is that a repaint? Maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’m sure not too many are concerned with this topic but I did get it figured out. I just used a fuse tester to figure out what wire was the turn signal by turning the signal on. Lol. Same with the high beam. It was easy enough since the ballast was after the harness. I ended up making a harness...

I cleaned my garage. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

That’s a good idea as well. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

He is. Lol. If it were my car I would find the way to make the cash to buy the HID’s. Alas, he is a friend and if I can achieve the goal and help him save some Benjis, I figure why not. I’m looking at it more of a learning experience and a challenge (not that there is money to be made going from...

MattT - lol. Sounds good. I will give it a try and see what happens. Worst case scenario he will just have to pony up the cash for proper headlights and I can re-wire the original plug back in. Jarhead0408 - I also pondered this idea. The electronics in the damaged assemblies work just fine. I...

I posted one minute ahead of you. Lol. You are correct. The ballast is mounted to the headlight assembly. There is an example picture in the post prior to your reply. So, the harness should only have 12v power coming from it, correct? I am assuming the different wires are turn signal and high...

The ballast is actually after the wire harness. It’s mounted to the headlight assembly. I have not checked for voltage as I am out of town at the moment. Suppose I check the wiring voltage and find that it’s only putting out the 12v due to the ballast being after the harness, then theoretically...

He only has the state minimum. Already looked around the junkyards in the area in a two hour radius and the only two compatible vehicles had halogens. Lol. So, to eBay I went. How would one go about circumventing the higher power output? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I believe it is the latter. I followed the wire harness and there is no disconnect further up the line. Although, I may remove some of the tape to make sure there isn’t something there that I can not see. Although, I doubt they would tape over any sort of plug. I don’t know if it would help with...
