    Thanks again, I appreciate all your help with my projects.

    I'm installing an HID Bi-Xenon h4/9000 kit from The Retrofit Source.

    I can't located the "input from Car" connector, I have to match it with their 3 prong connector. I follow the wires back from the headlights, but still can't locate it. I know it's on the Battery side.

    Thanks..

    Is it not the connector that you actually use to plug your factory headlight in?

    That 3-prong connector plugs into the stock plug, the one that you disconnected from the halogen bulb. If that makes since.

    yes, that makes sense, I didn't think of that because looking at this picture I assumed only 1 connection.
    SooOoo.. are you saying I only connect to the LEFT headlight! (INPUT FROM CAR).

    All I plug into is just the one input from the LEFT Headlight...

    I'm not running HID's but yes. That should be your input. Then IIRC cover the other connector with electrical tape to keep debris out of it in case you ever wan't to go back.

    I'm running LED's but it should look similar to this (albeit on the drivers side)

    Yes. You will not need to plug into the passenger side stock connector. Make sure you adjust the headlight once you install these HIDs, you will blind and piss people off if you don't. Had HIDs on my rig and currently running LEDs. In the process of doing the BHLM. Hope this helps man.
