Hi,

I have a couple of questions, first some background;

I have a JDM BG legacy with projectors and Catz HID kit installed.
I bought some Morettes that previously had a Bellof HID kit installed.
Both headlights have H1 globe holders.

Problem 1.

I was planning to swap the existing kit into the Morettes by simply putting the existing globes into the Morettes but came across a problem, the existing Catz kit has an extra wire plugged onto the globe holder.

So what should I do here?

I know nothing about electrics and less about HID's. :smt009


Problem 2.

The high beams on the Morettes have some extra wires spliced in. You can see here...

From the HB there's a yellow wire spliced into the blue wire.
From the park/city light there's a brown wire spliced into the brown wire.
From the park/city light there's a black wire spliced into the yellow wire.

High beam > blue/brown > blue+yellow/brown
Park light > yellow/brown > yellow+black/brown+brown

So there are 3 extra wires and I don't know what to do with them. :smt017

I'm assuming it's grounding to get lights to come on together but not sure if I can tape them up and ignore them or not.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks.

OK someone has suggested the extra wires might be from a previous spot light install which makes sense.

And after pulling the back off the other pair it seems they use that big cylindrical post to attach the ground to so I would need to change the plug on the existing kit (if there's enough wire length).
