well got myself a new car, hid's were the first on the list, well i went to go put em in and ran into a problem right away.

the headlight is completly sealed, there a twist off cap to get access to the bulb, but then the harness for the bulb is inside the lens with it leading to the inside back of the lens assembly, if that makes any sence, its connected with one of these on the outside

now on the inside idk what the plug looks like, couldnt pull it out.

but now my idea was to fit the inside plug to have the amp connectors plus the magnet + and - on the plug above.

and my question is does anyone know where i can find that plug?

What did the HID kit come with?

You should be able to buy an adapter/wiring harness that will plug into that plug so you dont have to pull the headlight apart.

look at www.ultrabrightlights.com to see if they make one for your vehicle.

on number 2 you can see the plug i need is inside the assembly, well i wanna move it to the outside and make a different one on the inside specifically for the hid's amp connectors and - and + for the magnet. like soUser posted image
i found the superseal 2.0 amp connectors and 2 pin socket.

i need to find that plug on the back of the head light assembly if possible.

the plug you need from the stock wiring harness should be connected to the stock bulb. Simply unplug it and then plug in the HID wiring harness into it. The HID bulb will then go into the hole the original bulb was in with the two connectors going to the connection for the HID ballast/igniter

Yeah, the plug that the HID harness will plug into is usually attached directly to the back of the stock halogen bulb. In this case, the white plug with the pink wires in the picture instructions you posted.

well yeah I know that the white plug goes into the stock harness from the hid's, but my hid is different, i cant cut a hole, do to it being a hi/lo light. what i need to do is move the stock harness to the outside of the lens. you can see in pic 4 the harness is inside the assembly and i dont want it in there, i want to be able to still put the cap back on, so i wanted to make another harness that will connect to the hid inside the assembly that way theres no "ghettoness" to it.

That's completely different from what you said in your first post.

I don't see why you can't drill a hole. The hole isn't for the HID bulb, it's for the grommet that comes attached to the wiring on the bulb. It allows you to keep things sealed and everything, and not look ghetto. I have an H4 kit in front of me right now, and it has the grommet on the wiring (at least the Oznium version does).

So yeah, that's all the advice I can give without having your headlight in front of me right now. Sorry.
