So I ordered the 6000K set from ozinum and it came in today. Unfortunaly there are no instructions.
Most of the connections are easy o figure out but im having a problem with one connection...
What are these and what do I do with them?

Also if anyone knows a good place to mount the ballasts in a tC that would be awesome.

ok those two wires have to go into the stock wire harness black being ground and red being power. I'm not positive on the harness which wire goes where just try them out if they don't power up then switch them around.
I mounted my ballasts on the back of the front bumper support with heavy-duty double sided tape and ran the wires in the closest opening behind the headlight. I will take pics of my setup soon and post them up for you.
If you need any hekp let us know.
Edit Pics:
Ground on the harnesses is white with black stripe:

Thanks for the pictures they really help. My kit didnt come with that tan adapter that you have, where can I get one?
And how did you get your ballasts there? did you have to take off the bumper to mount them?

the tan adapter is your stock wire harness, yours may be a different color, not sure though.
No I didn't take the front bumper off to get them there just stuck some heavy-duty doubled-sided tape on the back of them and stuck them there.

Oh ok, I guess I didnt look at the picture close enough. Ha ha.
Oh ok, I could do that a little later this morning before I leave. Seems easy enough.
Are you using a relay harness or just the stock wiring?
Sorry for all the questions...

I used the stock wiring myself. I have the oznium HID's too. Be sure to place those ballasts in a good location - they will heat up.

Anywhere you suggest? I was just going to stick them to the front area like above. But if you have another suggestion ill consider it.

yea the install should take no less than 10 mins. DO NOT touch the HID bulb, you touch it with your bare fingers, then you can say goodbye to the bulb it will definetly burn out.
Like Nick said put the ballasts in a open air spot so they get enough air to breath. The best place would be where I have mine cause its right where the radiator is so you know that gets plenty of air.

I have a 2006 scion tc. My original headlights have pretty much faded and i'm thinking about buying some new headlights. I already had them cleaned at an automotive place for $40 bucks and it barely made a difference. I'm thinking of getting some HID 8000k as well. Just seeing if anyone would help out.
