Hi people

I've got some spot lights on my escort

I've brought a hid kit from eBay

I've fitted the hid in my spot lights

Plugged the bulb in to the ballast like normal

Now I'm left with a red and black wire

Can I wire them to a switch then a fuse then to the battery

Will that work and be OK

 

You will need a relay and they will need to take a feed from the main beam circuit to switch them so they only operate when main beam is operating. To be honest though the spot lamps will be designed to work with a halogen bulb not a HID bulb and as HID's take some time to come up to operating output their use here isn't very clever. This is why many HID equipped cars only use them on dipped beam and retain a halogen bulb for main beam.

To be blunt, I think you've boobed

 

The HID ballast should simply go between your bulb and the standard car connector. So you plug the car into the ballast and the bulb into the ballast.

What is the bulb type on the car and what bulb type kit did you buy?

 

Escorts don't have spot lights as standard I need to wire them in some how fitted them but got to get them going there only for show but want them working

There fast boot got the same on my main car


What relay do I need is it just a 5 pin

So need to wire them to a relay then to a fuse then to the hi beam wiring

 

Depends on the Escort

Probably easiest to just buy a spotlamp wiring kit which should come with everything you need and instructions.

Something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wiring-Kit...EobdJL6wrbBU9Q

 

Thanks people are do that then

Just through you wire them to a switch then battery really
