HID problem!

[Jmboxer21]

Hey guys, so i purchased my HID lights months ago, but i havent installed on my car yet. So coincidentally,now both of my regular Low beam bulbs are out and i have no choice but to put my HID lights on my car, i have a relay, capacitors ballasts etc. The only problem i have now, is how to install properly onto on my w/o any damage to the equipment, any ideas?

Very carefully.
I don't know what you're expecting here. Did you want a walk through?

It's not too terribly difficult of a task. Just take your time make sure you read and understand before hooking up. If you have everything pre-assembled then it's pretty well plug and play then finding places to secure the wires and ballasts to. Good luck.

there are plenty of videos on how to install hid's on youtube. there is one specifically for gen 2 mazda 3 i watched it to learn how to take my bumper off. they are very descriptive so that should help.

both low beams out at the same time...maybe you should get new bulbs and make sure they work?

Jmboxer21 What year of MZ3 do you have?

Since both your lights are out together, you may want to check your fuses too.

I recently got a kit for my 06 Mazda 3 as well. I originally picked it up as a beater but it kinda grew on me lol. I did the search, found a lot of picture threads but not very many helpful circuit/wiring diagrams.

Can anyone clarify if this is correct for a '06 mazda 3?
The reason I ask is because the place I got it from gave me 2 capacitors.

Exact same thing i did, i thought i needed two capacitors but i only needed one

Okay guys I have a 06 and had some issues when o first installed my his kit so I am here to clarify for everyone. You will need your hid kit, relay harness and 1 capacitor. Don't worry about getting bulb spacers cause you won't need them as you can cut the rubber grommet that came with the bulb. Install goes like this stock connector for power from your old bulbs goes into the capacitor then into your relay harness then to your hid kits. You will have to modify the wiring on the capacitor for it to go into the OEM harness. I used spade connectors male and female then sealed with electrical tape. The relay harness will have 2 points to be grounded and I used a bolt from each headlight. You can really use anything that bolts into the frame of the car.
