DIY HID Flashlight for your car/truck

Step 7Make the connections

Make the connections
Put a zip tie on the power cord so it does not slip back out. Connect the spade connector from the harness connected to the HID bulb to the power switch and the other red wire to the white wire on the power cord. Cut the black connector from the HID bulb harness and connect it to the black wire on the power cord. Cover with electrical tape. (Make sure you are not cutting the wires connected to the bulb itself, just the ones on the other harness to plug into the ballast.)

As per a comment, it would be a good idea to put in a fuse for safety reasons. Get an inline fuse from an auto parts store and wire it in between the white wire and the switch in this step. (Where the white and red wire are connected in the picture.)

A fuse like one of the two pictures will work, around 10-15 amps.
