I purchased the kit from ebay and thought it would connect directly to the battery. Instead I have two connector pieces. How do I connect this kit to power them. Looks like the same adapters just one has red wire and other has red+white wire. The ground wires are located near the bulbs and I will just ground them to the top of the fogs where they have screw and washer set. Also have the HID 3000K kit ready to plug and play. Also going to run the switch through the fender. Just need to know where these adapters plug into to supply the power. I thought maybe the fuse box thing located near the battery but seamed like the adapter was to big for any of those. Thanks guys! pics below.

Good luck. I have a Xentec HID kit and it's s***. They're nice and dim at a supposedly bright and blue 6000K. Fail. It's hard to see at night. But, being fogs, not as big of a deal.

1. Are you wired for fog lights already? If not, you'll have to run your own switch and wires, especially if you don't have the fog light stalk. The connectors may be useless. Probably going to have to find the mating connectors or chop em off and solder.

2. 3000K HIDs? I would have at least gone 4300+ for OEM style lighting if that is what you were aiming for. 6000K It's pretty much pure white, maybe a tiny hint of blue. I have the 6000Ks. Looks awesome and I recommend 6000k.. with projectors of course :P....

i got the same fog lights
it wont fit,
i had to cut it and run new wire
and just got my power from the battery

and the foglights where both on the wrong side, so i had to switch them myself

this is right its easier than getting the diff connection that goes with it itll be cheaper
