Guess what I got for my baby.....

Are 35W HIDs brighter than 50W halogens? The headlights on my outback are kinda tealampish, but for my brumby I'm more concerned about power consumption.

Sorry guys for slow slow slow reply -

Here is the details:

On the plug that goes behind the projector headlights,
Wire 1 DRL light - ignore.
Wire 2 I think its Low Beam.
Wire 3 I think its High Beam. Swap both over if its incorrect.




Behind the H4 plug.
I know for sure the straight line (Plug A) is ground (You need ground it onto the body).



Plug 2 in to C.
Plug 4 in to B.
Plug 3 in to A.

This should have them working with projectors on low beam, and only high beams on for the high beam. Test them and confirm that this works. If not, then something else is wrong...

If this does work, then unplug 3 and ground it somewhere (I grounded mine under a nearby chassis bolt) and you should now get projectors on with low beam, and both projectors and high beams on with the high beam.

Give that a go and report back

Problem Shooting:
If the headlight is dim or something, the wiring setup is wrong - try have a play around with it swapping it over till its right.

YOU CAN run projectors & full beam at the same time. That is if you ground the wire onto body.

I strongly advise you to install 6-8mm heavy wire from negative therminal on the battery to the body, because the wire on the battery does get hot.

Yes correct they are...
HIDs are actually uses less power than normal halogens.. 50watt HID are better than 35watt.

In Theory - They use same heat output between - 50watt HID and 55watt halogen.
