Automotive tire Hood Motor vehicle Bumper Vehicle

I replaced the factory headlights with HID headlights bought from Amazon. Now I don't know what to do with a transformer, halogen to HID port, or resistor. I know from talking to people that the HID light gets hot. So I'm thinking it could be resistor....I have no idea though.

The inside of headlights are different from the factory halogen bulbs. I had to take off the mounting bracket to place the HID light in place...

so your car came stock with Halogen and you bought the HID housings?

Well I have some bad news for you...that is not going to work. Well actually it might, but not by simply swapping the housings. The halogen headlight wiring and HID headlight wiring are, as you can tell, very different. I don't recall exactly what that plug goes into, but I believe it's the factory HID ballast. Even if you had the ballast, that shouldn't plug into the wiring harness your car has. So there isn't much you can do at this point except try and return those headlights and get the Halogen ones again.

If you want HIDs, just search the threads on here and find many that have done the conversion. I might even still have my link in my signature.
