Yes, that is what I am saying. Look at this pic that I used from another post on Driver. the long yellowish shiny wire (or wire housing) pictured (not the one circled) needs to be removed from your old headlights and run through the housing of the projectors and connected to the HID bulb and the ballast.

thanks for the pic. yes, i remove that as well.

however, on the 05 lights inside the housing where the HID bulb location, there is a 2in" yellow thin wire that has a brass color connector on each end (like how u plug speaker wires into a speaker for your car)

well, i also used that yellow wire but according to whosRich, he mentioned no need for it

would that wire cause the HID to not work?

seriously bro, i appreciate all your replys

Thank to LoandShoG35 and WhosRich for your help.

I managed to get it to work. It was the little yellow wire I mentioned about. I took it off and lights went on right away.

I guess I was right in the first place
