Morimoto Mini HID Retro Installation Questions

Well, this weekend marks my first big mod on my new truck. Attempting BHLM and a HID retro with the morimoto mini's. I already have questions, so I'm starting this thread. Friday night and everything is disassembled, ready to bake the lights to seperate.

I noticed the wiring harness only connects to the drivers side connection to the car. How do I leave the passenger connection? Just wrap in electrical tape and wire tie up out of the way somewhere?

 

yes, u are right, post pics of your retro, i am thinking of getting the same kit

 

Please post some good night shots once you are all done. I haven't been able to find any good shots of the mini d2s from a tacoma yet. Thanks and good luck this weekend!!! Look forward to your end result.

 

bump... I'm getting closer to that point I could really use an answer before the end of the weekend.

 

Correct. All HIDs are the same.

 

Yeah, I understand how the wiring works, not a problem there, just wondering what to do with the now unused passenger headlight connector.

 

Tape it up and don't let the ends contact any metal or water.

 

Thanks! That's what I thought, just looking for someone to confirm there wasn't a better way.

 

Any updates on your retro??? How did it all go?

 

done and installed. I was going to wait for my new grill craft in for before and after pictures. It's all in now and looks good! Only problem is that my computer's video card has taken a dive and I"m without a home computer. G/F is getting me a new one for Xmas, so once I get that, I'll upload the pictures and put out a DIY guide to what I did, and what I shouldn't have done. (teaser: I had to spend an extra $300 to fix a fubar)

 

Sounds good man glad it all worked out for you in the end!!! I have this on my to-do list when spring time rolls around next year!!! Can't wait to finally get HID's. Will look forward to your write up as the mini-D2S is the way Im gonna go as well.

 

I used the unused conectors' high pass to a relay that power my Hella FF500s (with 55 watt HID) behind the grille. I wired it up through a switch, so I have control over them, or they come on when my high beams are on.

 

i just finished my retro and i think they sent me the wrong wiring harness possibly? lol the lights are together and mounted the ballasts are mounted morimoto 35 watt and everything is connected i have no where to connect one of my factory headlight plugs though. but in the package with the wiring harness or ballasts came this thingy idk i need help i have no headlights. i think this is the harness for an H1 setup but i'm not sure. nate at trs told me that there was not connections that needed to be made so what is this business. HELP!!

 

your pass side plugs stays unplugged, the harness you have will plug into your factory pass side plug, then there are 2 other plugs that go to your ballasts, the plug you are showing is for a different application.

 

thanks i figured that part out now it seems i only have one high beam?

 

check your light that is not working and flip the wires around?

 

i'm trying to adjust them as well would i use the factory adjustment screws still or is there another way to adjust the hight both up and down?

 

can anyone offer any insight into why only one high beam is working with my literally brand new mini morimoto 35 watt hid retro? harness and everything is connected properly i have no idea why it is doing this any help would be great. also i have a question about adjusting the height. Thanks a bunch

 

One of mine did this when I first connected them. I bumped the headlight with my hand and it has been working fine since.

 

Thats interesting. I have read on HIDPlanet that the miniH1 projectors had some problems with the highbeam being stuck but I never heard of the highbeam not turning on.

I am still working on my retro when I have time so I am taking it slow. Do you guys have any output shots of the miniD2s?
