I need some help from my fellow nissan brothers!!!!!!!!!

now how do i connect them????????....just don't want to blow them up or anything....lol...



the ballast is off of a 2002ish MAXIMA....there is a black wire hanging out by itself.....another black wire with dots and the third is red and yellow with dots

.....so is that two negatives....one to the car ground and one to the headlight ground....the red and yellow to the headlight positive right......

the two negative have thrown me off....so i want to double check....i know that two grounds a better than one but lots of hid's come with 1 grnd

i'm just tired of the Halogens.....

Well. I think you got it. But the FSM has a little different color coded. The 3 wires i see from the FSM coming out of the ballast is the ground of course its says is coded "B/Y" then the one wire goes to the Parking lamp and then to the electrical for the tail which is coded "R/Y" and then one each ballast has a different color wire goign to the battery "R/L" and "L" It's obvious you got it going but i hope this helps. I didnt post it on here with some of the controversy of posting schematics like this so there ya go. Email me or msg here if you need any more help.

Here's the diagram for the lights. Looks like B/Y is ground.
