I know that you used 2 wiring harnesses for both sets of hid's. also that your passanger side oem plug powers your fogs and your driver side oem plug powers your low beam. my question is?

With all 4 HID's coming on at once do you ever find it overloads the car? do the lights ever not fire up? Also where did you run the wiring to go accross the car and to the battery from the passanger side. Thanks.

I already have 6000K HID low beams and I was thinking of getting fogs and I don't want to go through the hassle of wiring everything including a switch. thanks.

Rarely, my driver's side fog won't turn on. But the headlights always fire up. I think the trick is I never have the headlights in the 'auto' position. I was turn them on myself.

The wire from the passenger side to the battery is ziptied right over the diffuser(?) that is over the radiator. It won't be long enough with the length that comes standard. My gf's dad (electrican) lenghtened the wire for me so it would reach.

Gimme a sec and I'll go take pics.

Here's the driver's side.

Center.

Passenger side.

And ballast placement for the lows.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I was in Vegas since Friday with no net access.

I'm probably going to tackle this as my next project after i install my nismo exhuast next week. how did you extend the wire? also which wire or wires did u extend? u extended the ground and positive to the battery? or the h11 connector for the passanger side? thanks again

You only need to extend the wire that connects to the OEM passenger side connection. Since it's SUPPOSED to connect to the driver's side, it's very short because it's so close to the battery.

How? Not sure, my gf's dad did it. I trust he did it right. He's an electrican for LA county.
