I purchased a hid kit off jdmpanada for my s14 kouki. i have a coupel questions about the install. the part with the bulb has a plug that goes to the ballast and a + and a - wire. where do the + and - wires go? do i tap them into my oem harness? aswell there is another section of wire that looks like has a relay and some grounding wires, do i use this or do i just use my old harness? thanks for the help. if anybody could sketch up a proper diagram that would be awsome  
(it is a h1 kit low beam only)

you should see a wire that has like two fuses together side by side (mine had two fuses )… that one goes to the battery terminal.

on each side of the lights… there’s also a ground… they are black lines w/ the circle metal head thingy… just mount them to any body part…

and pretty much the bigger plug just goes to one of the light plug. that/s it the other ones. just follow the male/female plugs for each light… literally plug and play.

the install shouldn’t be a prob.  
since you have a kouki, i am not familiar with, Jason(spooolin) has a set of h1 installed on his kouki. He should be able to give you some pointers on what to do about the +/- wires.

oh yeah. don’t touch the bulbs with your fingers.
