Can you cut the stock lights and connect ballast straight wires from the car stock lights this is for an SC400. Or do you neeed a custom harness because the stock wires cant hold the power for the HIDS?

I made myself a little adapter go from 9006 socket to the HID socket.. That saved me from cutting the OEM wire. I can try to take a pic but the adapter is not some top-quality work .

Here's the pic
It's as simple as it gets
So don't laugh ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I used a blown 9006 bulb and cut the socket out but leave the metal. The rest are pretty straight forward.
Hope it helps

I told you it's not a top-quality work. I'm sure someone can do better than that. see...I want to connect the housing so bad, so took it not too serious.

agree, a lot of people use their oem wirings to power the hid no problem, including me. you probably wanna up the fuse from 15A to 20A like rgarjr said, that would do the trick

I am like sinquenza, I blew my 15A when I hook the ballast straight to the stock wiring. So I went to a 20A and I also used a awesome harness sinquenza made me and now my HIDS work like a charm.
