Default Trouble with HID conversion
Would someone PLEASE be so kind to explain to me in detail, what wires I need to hook up the capacitor thing (not sure what it really is) that came in the HID kit, to prevent the problems with the headlights not going all the way down when turned off. Last time I inquired about this, a member vaguely responded "hook it up to the power wire from the main harness, and the wire going from the ballast to the bulb"....does this sound correct???

You hook it to the 2 wires that originally went to the low beam bulb.
