    I bought a HID setup on here and then accidentally cracked one of the bulbs. So i found another kit on here so i could replace the last kit. The first kit came in an awesome wiring harness setup and was neat and easy to install and figure out and was 35W. The kit i got to replace it it not the same there are nowhere near the same amount of wires and it is not as easy to figure out how to install considering they are totally different. The second set is 55W. The first kit had a ground wire for each light, a power wire going to the battery with inline fuse attached and a connector that hooked up to the stock headlight wire harness. The second kit does not have the power wire for the battery, nor a ground for each light, or a connector for the stock harness. There are 2 male quick connects coming from each ballast and i have no idea where they go. Can someone please share their knowledge with me and help me out. Thanks. The first pic is the first setup and the second pic is the second setup i got.
