HID headlights in non-HID equipped car?
 

If I buy the OEM HID headlight assembly, is it direct plug and play with my 2009 Sport which does NOT have HIDs?

Would quite like to upgrade the lights on my car, but not sure if it'll fit? Don't want to use aftermarket HID conversion as I know those will probably blind oncoming cars.

Thanks

You'll also need the supporting electronics (ballasts/igniters).

OK yes of course. But it will be plug and play?

Also, does anyone know the part numbers for the ballasts and igniters? I can only seem to find a "hid control module"?

I don't have the answers but here is where I would start if I were looking.

Bump. I'd like to know the answer to this as well...ty!

I did this in the past. If I remember I will check my harness. Its out of the car currently.

Fickert, were you able to check your harness by any chance?

Hey sorry I just looked at this last night actually. Hold up, I can get you information later today, if not tonight when I get home.

Pinout below:

LH Headlight:
OEM Harness -> HID Connector
LGrn/BLk -> LGrn/Blk
Blk -> Blk/Y
Brn -> Brn
Vio/Wht -> Vio/Wht

RH Headlight:
OEM Harness -> HID Connector
LGrn/Blk -> LGrn/Blk
Blk -> Blk/Y
Brn -> Brn
Wht/Blk -> Wht/Blk

If you have question, let me know! I will say I know for certain the LH is correct, I had to guess a bit on the RH but I am pretty sure its correct so do the drivers first, and pay attention to which wires go where. Pin location wise it is the same on the passenger side. Also you will have 3 left over wires in the HID Harness you will not use. Just trim them short.

For safety I suggest putting in a 5amp fuse for the LH and RH headlight circuit. It should just be under 5 amps on startup. This way if you have a wiring issue it can blow the fuse first and save a ballast.

Good luck!

Bump, I received JDM HID headlights for S2 RX-8 and the harnesses are completely different.

tried to make a post in the classifieds searching for a chassis side HId headlight harness but I wasn’t allowed.

anyone have one I can purchase?

thanks!
