Default HID installation

I was trying to find on how to install the HID kit, and i couldnt come across anything. I know its easy to do but can someone tell me if there is a wiring diagram or something with pictures that i can look at. I have a 93 honda civic hatch...

If you buy the one with the same blubs that fits your car, its plug it play.

I dont have a diagram... but to explain... take the original plug that connects to the stock headlights and plug it into the ballast. Plug the wire from the ballast into the HID bulbs, then put the bulbs in your housings, dont forget to twist to lock them in! You dont need a diagram.

EG's aren't twist lock, they are held in by a spring clip

All the connections that you have to do cannot be messed up. They each fit exactly where they go, then just plug it into your stock headlight assembly.

First.... you need an HID kit.... second... you need to PLUG IT IN... seriously, it isnt hard at all.... I just explained it up top... connect the ballast to the original harness that plugs into your headlights... plug the ballast into the HID bulbs... put the bulbs in the housings... are you aftermarket housings or factory housings? It looks like you're projectors, am I right?

edit.... I looked at your album... you're oem... I am almost positive you're 9006 HB4 lows and 9005 HB3 highs... I am like 90% sure. either that or it is opposite.... no, I am right... maybe... if you're looking for a good kit, ask Gary (westimports) the vendor here on HCF and on civicforums.com... I buy my crap from him and he'll get it to you in just a couple days. Dont go cheap on HIDs... it just isnt worth it.

Do your Hids blind people on the road being that they are the oem housings?

If you dont want to blind people with Plug and play HID kits, then Retrofitting is where it's at, OEM HId's better output, better lighting. and you won't blind people
