I tried reading the directions but they in bad english. I think I can figure most of it out but I need to know where these wires circled in red go and which one is the positive and which is negative. I think they hook into the metal holder on the old light but I'm not sure. Thanks

I don't know about on your G37... But on my G35 you just hook those up to the same wires that the fog light was plugged into...

For me it was plug and play..

Just curious, are you replacing your bi-xenon lights with H.I.D. lights?

I may be wrong, but I thought with regular xenon (or HID), just the low beam were xenon, the high beam were halogen. With the bi-xenon the high and the low beam are both xenon, hence the "bi" designation.

What is that kit for? A H1 retrofit kit should only have the bulb and two wires running from the bulb to the ballasts like this:



Unless the G37 has some funky wire harness there should not be any extra wires.

I would say that about 95% of Gs have HIDs - not all do. The one's that don't are likely to have cloth interiors and no sunroof.

Here are the specs for the Non-HID Gs.

Its basicly the same thing just instead of the wires from the OEM bulb hooking to one piece to splits to 2.

Also I finished it, I had to modify it but it works now, I'll take pics when its dark so you can see better.

If you have the bi-xenons, HIDs are both low and high beams, and I think that started with 2006.
