Kouki Projectors Question Options

[mechedjun]

Done some research on these but couldn't find the info I was looking for so I'm asking the community for help.

1. To my understanding the USDM low beam bulbs do not fit the projectors (9006 to H4? I think?) so as far as wiring goes do I just take the old wiring off and just resolder to the new ones or do I need a resistor or something in between to get the current down?

2. Does the high beam bulbs the same between USDM and projectors?

Thanks

My DDM kit uses those same plugs. However, at no point does my car's wiring touch the ballast. Both the 9006 and H1 HID bulbs plug into the car's wiring and then lead to the ballast. It's just how each manufacturer chooses to make their kit. That's why I'd love to get a list of which kits require the plug and play harness and which don't. So far we can confirm that the DDM kit requires the harness and the Xentec kit can be used as an adapter.

Quick edit: not my picture but you can see where the 9006 plug goes with the bulb, not the ballast. So with an H1 bulb from DDM, there is a need to convert the Celica's wiring to H1.

Actually, if you follow the wiring, correctly, you will see that it does not go into the bulb first. I just installed a set of HID's into both of my friend's cars. There is a extension harness between the stock plug (on the car) that leads to the ballast so that you can hide the ballast for a cleaner look. From the ballast, it goes right to the HID's. Every set of HID's I've seen uses the same connection between the ballast and the HID bulb. In fact, the place my buddy got his 8k HID's for his fog and headlights, gave him a 6k bulb for the headlights since they didn't have any 8k's and is going to just swap the bulb out when they get the 8k bulbs in.
