I am looking for this

http://autolumination.com/images/auto_bulbs/9005_male_wm.jpg

I need it for my temporary ghetto setup of the HID:

As you can see, I've inserted a couple of wires with spade connectors crimped on them into the car's white headlight socket/connector. I'm afraid that one or both wires may come off while driving in pitch dark environment. The other end of the wires go to a relay (red) and a ground (black).

Cdn Tire doesn't have it. Greggs only has the female version (ie same as the car's white headlight socket/connector). I haven't tried Princess Auto yet though.

Help :confused:

On a side note, the ballast and ignitor are shoved behind the headlights. Is it safe? :confused:

Wow, what a butcher......lol.
If you hung with me and Ed, we would probably help you out here....again joking.
Try walking into a wreckers with wire cutters in your pocket........thats what I would do! Or try a show and shine where guys have their hoods open.
Just my 2 cents for the day.
I'll check my box of junk at home today.

If I recall, Ed just plugged the ballast directly into the car's white female plug.

Can you even find those things in any cars at the wreckers? It's usually female 9006 into the 9006 bulb...unless the car needed some kind of an extension of the female 9006

sure if u find someting let me know :D
 
Mine just plugged and played dude. I might of had to swap the pos and neg, but it was easy and my ballasts where so small they went under the light covers. I never used those black plastic caps again, too much work for me to drill them and reinstall them. I drive my car all the time with no problemo.
Well except for clutch problems.....lol.
Here is my hid link.

Well the plugs coming out of the ballasts are male 9006...so yes they do plug in directly into the car's white female connector. I guess I just wanna play it on the safe side so that the battery is feeding power to the bulbs directly.

Not sure if they sell these locally at like parts source etc? Did you try ebay? I've had about 3 different kits for my NSX over the years each one had the 9006 connectors, but some of the cheaper HID kits don't have the plugs to cut down costs.

Where are you located? There is a guy local to KW area that may have what you need? He deals with HID kits PM me I'll get you his contact.
 
Maybe your comment will get him to fill out the rest of his profile, so we know he is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.....pretty far from ya.

where's KW? :confused:

Anyways I ordered two of those plugs from http://autolumination.com.

I've exhausted all options: napa, bumper to bumper, mopac, princess auto, greggs, cad tire, parts source, aero parts, etc.

One thing I guess I could have done is cut off one the male plug from one of the ballasts. Utilize the male plug on the car's white connector. And for the ballast to the relay, just solder in a couple of pieces of wires.
