I got everything all ready to install and then I hit a problem, what does this hook up to?? I search everywhere and couldn't find where it hook up to, I have the phillips 4300k kit.
well it looks like your using a relay with it. I'm guessing that need to go to your factory wire which will signal the relay (and hid's) to turn on and off.

I am using the relay that came with it. The rest of what you said went zoooom, right over my head.
ok if your using a relay there should be wire for the power source which would need to wired to the battery and then another wire which you will hook up to the wire that used to run to the stock halogens. This wire will use the power from the stock wiring to turn the relay on and off. Which will then let the power feed though from the wire that goes to the battery.
The reason a relay is used is because sometimes stock wiring can not handle the extra current. I dont have a srt-4, but I have a 2003 Dodge Ram (9007 heads, 9006 fogs). I did NOT use relays with my kit as the current draw is about the same. If not a little less.
So in other words when you dont use a relay you just run the ballast power wires straight into the stock wires that used to go to the halogen bulb.
When you use a relay you have to run an extra set of wire to the battery that will provide the main current. I dont see any extra wiring in the pic, is there anything more to hook up?
Nothing more to hook up, that is all that came with it. The black thing says that it is the relay, it has 4 wires coming off of it, 2 that go in the male plug which goes into the ballist and another two that go to that other plug that I have no clue where it goes. Should I strip the wire that goes to plug that i have no clue where it goes? But then my next question would be, the stock plug that goes into the stock halogen bulb has three wires coming out of it, how would i hook the plug coming off the relay to it? I am soooo lost it isn't any funny anymore
That connector looks like the plug where the stock wire harness, the plug that used to plug in directly to your regular bulbs, needs to go. In a plug and play HID kit you just plug your existing harness for your headlights into the ballast plug and that should be it.
i spliced my Hids into my stock wiring harness. I think i used the purple wire for my power source for the HID ballist and then grounded it, using the stock wires. No problems
at all so far....
