Help needed - Factory HID conversion

[V8SRGR8]

I managed to score a brand new set of factory HIDs for a good price. I'm having trouble with the wiring though - 3 wires on the 2006 GT harness, 3 wires going into the 2009 HIDs. The lights come on, but shut off after about 30 seconds, and the high beams don't work.

Anyone done this conversion know the deal?

I have been told I could hard wire them, but I'm trying to stay with connectors for ease of removal if needed.

Does anyone have a PDF of the HID harness wiring diagram? My shop manual is from 2005 - HIDs weren't offered yet.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have the ballasts?

The ballasts are inside the assembly - bulbs wouldn't come on at all without them.

This is a factory Ford HID kit.

I would call Syvania and talk to an engineer, there is more involved than just swapping the lights and connecting to existing wiring. If I remember correctly there were 2 issues when I talked to them:
1. The high beams will not function correctly, something about the motor that opens and closes the shutter infront of the bulb.
2. The voltage going to the factory (non HID) lights is controlled by a module, that output is not setup to run the HID's correctly.

Exactly, those are the questions I need answers to.

I'm sure someone here has done this before.

Thanks, Leo. talked to him, and he pointed me to the writeup on the silverhorse website. I have the Ford harness ordered, and am ready to modify when it comes in.

Update - Marcello's method was relatively easy to do, and has the HIDs working perfectly. Thanks for the tip!

Your welcome.

Any chance you can score another set? Or tell me where you got them?

 

[V8SRGR8]

I think this was a once in a lifetime price - that's why I jumped on them. Fresh off my motor build, I didn't really want to spend any more, but the price was too good.

I got them from a body shop that did a shelby bumper on a brand new 2009.

How about posting up the mod necessary to get them to work?

TIA
