Xenons, How to Power 'em?

OK - this is a rather obvious question. The Xenons I got come with the wiring harness (ballast etc) - where do I get the 12v for 'em?

It should be from the huge plug connector that fits into the light cluster at the front. Any one got a pin out for this for the mk6 9n?

THANKS!

Mike

I'm confused, mine plugged straight in to the power that would usually go styraigh to the H7 bulb.... if that makes sense

Ah ok. sounds simple enough. So you'll have the Balast circuit hanging out i.e. both ends of the harness will be inside the head lame unit, 1 end in the H7 xenon, other into the power wire..?

Correct

Gotcha, thanks. Guess I'll probably drill 2 holes into the dust cap for a neat installation...

Hey!!! You know all the answers, so why are you asking?

Correct again.
What hid kit did you get? I have mcculloch

Heh, bad habit of mine, I tend to check up on stuff before I get started - specially if I'm unsure :p

Yup, same kit from Peter off eBay, got a matched pair of 8000K bulbs..Did you only install in yer H7 or you think of upgrading the H1s as well? (OTT) lol..

Thanks.

Yes only H7, I think there is no need in upgrading H1s also. How many times are they used anyway?

True. The Xenons alone would suffice. I might just change 'em to 100W bulbs if I get bored :p

heh...
