09 HID Kit Install questions

Before I get any response...

I've read through 23 pages of searches. I've seen numerous communications on vehicle specific problems. I've been over to HIDPlanet and can't find any posts on my specific model or problem.

One thing i've learned from these posts is that the worst thing to do it to try to install the system without following some simple steps as i've learned on here ... like USING A HARNESS and fixing the squirrel spots.

So... I have an HID kit from Eurodezigns. I bought it from my local shop that stocks the stuff but isn't real knowledgable on HIDs.

They sold me a "relay kit" listed in the pictures. The kid couldnt be older than 18 and said I needed one "kit" per headlight. Seems to me I only need one of these "kits".

Question is ... which one? The two kits are different. One has a resistor type cable connected to the relay and the other doesnt.

Could you guys give me some input on which cable to use? The car is an 09' Camry SE Lowbeams using H11 bulbs.. If you look close, the two harnesses are different.

Thanks in advance,

JK

hm. your pictures are really confusing. i have a 08 camry se and it had no problems, straight plug and play. but do you do 2 kits, like 2 ballasts , 2 harnesses etc. there should be 2 pins that connect to your existing H11 connector, which goes into the ballast. the bulb should plug into your ballast. and thats that. =) 30 min job. i just cable zip tied the ballast to the support right under the headlights.

Yeah that's what I thought. I connected everything(quick plug and play) and I got nothing. I know the bulbs and ballasts work becuase I hooked them up without the harness and I get the "one light works" problem. I swapped bulbs/ballasts to ensure that everything works.

What is the one light works problem? Try turning on your lights without starting th engine.

Based on your pictures of the relay, it looks perfect. The yellow connectors go to your ballast, the red to your battery, ground to battery, input plug to driver side halogen h11 stock harness.

A solution that was suggested was to run the passenger side headlight plug "inline' with the driver side...meanind splice into each other.

Is that what you guys had to do?

no, why would you have to do this? Both relay kits look fine. It's not clear to me what the problem is. You can use either relay kits.

Problem was a bad connector on the harness. Had to remove it to get the wires to fit into the headlight wire connector.
