if sp20 low beams stay on with high beam then use that as your ballast trigger and use the high beam for cut off solenoid
if lows go off when highs come on then use power diodes from high and low to ballast via relay and still take cut off solenoid from high beam before the power diode hope this helps |

I think Dan set it up to be pretty much plug and play with the correct ballast and connectors. |

Haha yeah it should be pretty easy once you get the ballasts. I don't think you can stuff much up. Have you bought some ballasts yet? Pic is on the way..

ballast trigger = 12 volt to power ballasts which then power your hid globes either directly or through relay.
this is for bi-xenon setup |

But just to confirm, I don't need any switches, relays, triggers or the like do I...?!? I'll get on to it a bit quicker now cause I had been waiting for the front lip and bumper brackets to get here so I could take the front bar off and do all three in one day. Everything is here now (other than ballasts/connectors) so I have no excuses!! |

HIDs require an additional part to power them, in the form of a ballast.

I definitely recommend the mini ones if you're wanting to do it yourself. If you're fussy like me you will spend HOURS with a dremel trying to get the FX-Rs sitting perfect! |

I am looking at options before I buy anything. I don't mind having to cut up the factory covers that mount where spotlights would go to mount decent aftermarket lights. Would love some HID driving lights. |

The loom was chopped to pieces by someone ripping the front bumper off, they destroyed a lot of the car taking it off. But a loom is not hard to make as I will probably be fitting custom driving lights. I have thought about the fieldbreak bumper many times. I think it doesn't look right, the fieldbreak kits make the car look like a 4WD, I dont think it would suit my car being dumped on the ground as it is now. |
