Ford Mustang Oem Hid Wiring Diagram

At least I think it was... :burnout: I left out the bumper removal as there are plenty of how-to write ups on that subject. I did a lot of research on a better way of installing the factory HID headlights into a halogen car without splicing into the factory harness. After finding out how the factory HID headlights works it was as simple as finding a relay harness for the H13 (9008) input to output a control for Bi-Xenon projector headlights.
I ordered this harness from theretrofitsource.com Bi-xenon: 'MotoControl 9008/H13 - Relay Harnesses from The Retrofit Source Inc which was exactly what I needed. It had a control for the HID ballast that wouldn't turn off the low beams when the high beams turned on, and a control for the high beam solenoid to open the shutter for the high beams. The only problem is this harness uses 9006 (two pin) connectors for the ballast and solenoid output so I would have to splice into those to make it work with the 4 pin input for the HID headlights. This is what the output from the harness looks like.
Now, if you look at the wiring diagrams Ford Service Manuals - Wiring Diagrams for the HID headlights you will see that there are inputs for the factory ballast instead of one. This is because they use the same smart junction box on the HID cars and non-hid cars. One wire stays hot (the yellow-red on the left, and blue-red on the right) when the low beam turns off, as it would with a halogen car. The answer to this problem is to combine the Brown-Blue and Yellow-Red on the left light and the Red-Blue and Blue-Green on the right side. This will power your lights in high and low beam operation. Now all that is left is the to wire the "projector" labeled output from the retrofit harness to yellow-violet wire on both lights. As you can see from the diagram everything shares a common ground in the factory headlights, so just wire the ground from the retrofitsource harness to a grounded bolt. This is a picture of the left side light spliced and ready to go.
Now that the headlights are wired to the retrofitsource harness. Here is a youtube video of how to wire a similar harness to a Mustang.
If done correctly it should look like this. :rockon:
I'm not sure if that made sense, but if you have any questions let me know.

Sick man. If they weren't 100 billion dollars I'd be all over this, I hate the Raxioms and I don't like HIDs in a reflector housing.

I agree. I want to upgrade my base GT with factory quality HID's but the cost is absurd. The Raxioms look cheap to me, no offense to anyone.

Keep an eye out on Craigslist and ebay. They pop up for pretty cheap sometimes.

Those wires are coming from the stock harness?
What cable is connected to the headlight?

The aftermarket relay harness plugs into your factory halogen (9008) plug. Then you splice the relay harness into the 4 pin Xenon pig tail. Here is something I made in paint that kind of explains it a bit better.

That's a fuse holder....

Only one is used. The other I just covered with electrical tape like in the YouTube video.

Yes, you will need 4 pin pigtail that plugs into the headlights.

Once you get your parts this will make more sense. The fuse holder has the fuse in it, so it doesn't connect to anything. I don't have a part number but a Ford parts house could get you one.

Upon what I understood I have to take off the 2pin connector off. But for the ballast pin connector I have two wires the red and black, what should i do with the short black wire when its taken off?

It sounds like a grounding problem. Show a wider picture and maybe I can help.
