Hid xenon lights

Post by vtecred » Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:26 am

Morning everyone.

Right I have another problem here as mentioned in a previous post I have just bought a prelude with a chavvy hid kit fitted and I really want to remove it immediately.
I took a look at the fittings and do not have a clue how to plug the halogen bulbs back to the normal spots is it possible I need a new harness ?
And am i correct for saying the plug where the spade connectors go plugs underneath the headlight somewhere

Please help me solve this issue

Ps i am posting a lot of problems! Don't get sick of me just yet haha..

Most HID's are plug and play. The original connector you plug the bulb into connect to another wiring loom that will go to a ballast box and from that box to the HID bulb.

You should be able to just remove the HID kit and put a normal bulb back in, that is unless someone has butchered the wiring to get it to fit

Normally people just plug the HID looms into the original headlight plugs, so you should just be able to unplug that, replace the bulb and put the original plug onto it.

Pics of what your installation looks like, would help?

the original plug should be somewhere near the end of that wiring?

edit that's the original plug in your hands
