HID installation

[ilovesti]

I got some questions about wiring the HID system into my 98 VW beetle. i hope someone would be kind that can answer my questions. thanks !! i attached some pictures below. and hopefully after i solved my problems, then this post will help other people to have their HID installation done.

Here are the pictures of my Hella HID ballasts and the HID bulbs i got . the thing is that i wanna hook the after market HID system in my 98 VW new beetle. but i dont know which wires i should hook up to . You can see in the picture "OEM light1.jpg" there are three wires got hooked up to the OEM Halogen light. Pictures "OEMlight 2-5" shows different angles of that OEM light and its orginal plug.

Now the problem is that there are three wires hooked up to the OEM lights. i know forsure to install the HID, the OEM Halogen light will be taken out. so now on the OEM light plug. THere are three wires. as you can see in in the picture OEM light1. THere are a black, red&black (on the same slot). there are also pictures showing that the OEM light attach to the OEM housing. anyways, now the HID ballasts and HID bulbs each got three plugs, those three excatly match the other from the HID bulb and the ballast. So there are only the blue line and the black as you can see in the pictures "HID system".

Now i dont understand that , what are the three wires on the OEM light, what are the black and red&black(attached together) for? should i hook up the black line from the HID system to the black line with the black line of the OEM light? and hook up the blue line of the HID system with the red&black line of the OEM lights.


P.S. the blue and black wires are the power source to the ballasts. so the whole thing is those two need to be hooked up with the original car power source. then the power will go through the ballasts then go into the HID bulbs.

Mine only had two wires so I'm not sure why yours has three.

However, I'm guessing that where red and black goes is the ground, so it goes from plug to the low beam bulb to high beam bulb and so on. So, use the black wire that's alone to activate the ballast.
