Question Help with HID driving lights please!

Hi,
I have just got some HID driving lights to fit to my P1 and am lacking a cable to connect the Xenon ballast to the existing wiring loom on the P1. Does anyone know where I can get this cable from?

I've marked the cable needed on the piccy;


Thanks, Jon

Is it a P1 it's going on? If so, it only needs a feed and an earth, the car already has relay, fuse and switch.

Look behind the foglight cover, find the wiring: it may be taped up etc. Identify the live wuith a circuit tester or a multimeter and the other is the earth.

If there IS no wiring, I can supply you with either a circuit diagram, or instructions to wire the lights, or both.

Forgot to say, try www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk for connectors, etc.

Either cut both off and fit a new pair, or find one that fits the other from Vehicle Wiring Products Ltd. Suppliers of auto electrical parts..

It's unlikely you'll get an actual cable, but you may be able to buy TWO connectors, use half of each and MAKE your own cable.
Personally, I'd pick option one, above:

VWP - multiconnectors any of the two way connectors will do, you can even get weatherproof ones.
