Ok, so my car came with aftermarket ebay headlights-the black housing with halo's ones. So i was in the market to put some HID's in my car, looked at the bulb in the headlight and they had H1 bulbs. So I got a H1 bulb kit. Went to hook them up, and they look like any plug and play kit. (positive, negative, and ballast) So i unhooked the connectors for the bulb in the housing, thinking i could use them for my + and - connections. But when i hooked up the hid kid through them, nothing happened. So then i bench tested the kit(straight to the battery) and they worked just fine. So im wondering if I have to completely bypass the wiring to original H1 bulb, or if I have to go through and wire up my own switch for the headlights.
