06 projector wiring HELP!
NEED HELP! Hey guys so i just wondering how all this wiring works out. I have a set of the 06 projectors goign to upgrade from the 03 and i was confused in how to connect all the bulbs and where.
1st- The HID headlights do i just use the 03 ballast to connect it to the d2s bulb when i take apart the 03 housing?
2nd - The fog housing there are like 3 wires, 2 black and 1 yellow, which wire do i connect it to the fog bulb?
3rd - where is the city light marker and where does that go? its the 194 bulb correct?
4th - signal light which i already know where that is
i was also wondering if the mtec h1 4750k bulb will work with the stock 06 projectors? as in will it just be a plug in play or would i have to get a HID conversion kit for the fogs also.
Here are some picture to give you guys an idea what im trying to ask
this is the fog light wiring im confused about

And are the side markers connected to the corner lights?

The headlight housing there are no connections to connect to the bulb so when i take apart my 03 headlights do i just use the old connections?

lol, ill bite.
1) Unscrew the ballast off of your '03 HL housing. Now unplug and unscrew the ignitor wiring connected to the inside of the ballast, and pull the ignitor out through the opened top cap. Reinstall this into your new '06 HL housing in reverse order, then plug/screw back into the ballast, and screw the ballast onto your '06 housing. You are correct, the ignitor will now attach to your D2S bulb, which goes into the back of the projector base seen in Pic#3 through the upper cap.
2/3) There are 4 wires, not 3. The two wires that are "connected" together, that come together into a black plastic housing at the ends... this is where your city light bulb goes. the 168/194 socket. The other separate black and yellow wires with the plastic covers at the end connect to your H1 bulb, which inserts into the back of the reflector bowl behind the lower cap.

Your foglights, the H1 bulbs, are not HID, therefore yes they are plug n play.

Oh, yea yea you're right, sorry I forgot.
If you look through the lower cap on the back of the HL housing, inside you will see the back of the reflector bowl, there is another tab sticking out of it. This is for the ?ground? (black) and the tab on the H1 bulb is for the ?power? (yellow).
I put ?marks because I am not sure if it's like this or the other way around... I forgot. sorry...
