You mean just hid's? I got h4's hid's that have a special insert to make them fit into the h4 housing and redirect the light so they are not annoying. But what you need the wiring?
Its really simple to install hid's, you just want a hi/low beam wiring harness.

No.... H3's man... H3's. Fog lights....

I want to see how people grounded them with the extra wire if there are pics out there. Looks for pictures of H3 HID fogs installed on the OEM housing.

Are you having a problem because there are 3 wires, 2 thick ones with the same adapters, and 1 thinner wire with a lil bit different connector?

AHA. After reading i figured out what you were talking about.

In our housings, you have the one wire that goes in, thats for power, Now yes there is a ground, but the ground is NOT a wire, its that metal peice, so only when the metal is touching when you have a bulb lodged in there to hold it in place, does it make the complete ground and can you turn on the bulb. Try taking out the bulb and not having that metal touching the metal base of the bulb, it doesnt complete the ground. The metal base of the h3 bulb conducts the ground from that lil metal clip in there and shit, so if that doesnt touch the bulb, no ground, no light. Get what im saying.

So the metal in there is the ground, and has to touch the bulb to complete the ground, so there is no wire. So what you have to do is cut that, run in as a real wire and there you go. You have your neg and positive. I just ripped all that out of the inside of my harness, ran in the wires from the ballast, filled it with water proof rubber gasket sealent shit, and plugged in the bulb, and there we go.

Ok yes.... But is there a wire on that metal ground that needs to be spliced into the new h3 ground wire?
