Get a harness made for a 9006/9005 headlight setup, and a separate 9004/9007 plug pigtail for one of your original headlight wire plugs. Then you'll have to do a little splicing, crimping, & soldering. Or get a 9004/9007 harness along with two 9006 headlight connector pigtails. Then you'll have to do a little splicing, crimping, & soldering. See http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/headlamp-harness.html for additional information.
Well the harness suvlights.com has for HID setups is not shown in that picture.....it actually looks different from that if you specify that you are upgrading to HID.
I have the 9004/9007 upgrade harness and it doesn't look anything like the one they have in the picture, but it was the same price.
For bi-xenon, he could just wire it up according to the upgrade harness except he would need to run his high beam wire to the bi-xenon wires correct? since they just operate the motor?

Yeah, do what ekooke said and get the 9006 one, then just gut your 9007 bulbs out so you just got the bases, then soldier on you wires to the terminal of that base, and it would plug in to your stock headlight plug on your car. But I usually just avoid all that fuss and cut -n- splice onto the car. Just make sure to soldier everything, and use heat-shrink all the connections so they will be sealed from the elements.
Yeah Josch,
Either way would work, but either way, it's crimp & solder with the 9006/9005 OR the 9004/9007 harness. Apparently, no one makes a bi-xenon conversion harness (yet) for cars that originally had dual filament bulbs, so some customizing will be required. Maybe SUVLights will cover this soon with plug-'n-play harnesses for H4 & 9004/9007 bi-xenon conversions.
I never even understood what all the fuss was about in regards to even needing or wanting a prefab harness in the first place. I hate the way they look when installed, as they always give you too much cable and you have to ty-wrap it into a big glob of messy wiring. I've never used a pre-fab harness for lights. I don't see what is so hard about buying a roll of wire, a couple relays, some spade connectors and a decent pair of crimpers, to just wire your relays in, with the correct length wires and all right from the get-go?
Well Josch,
In my case, I find it easier to spend the time earning money doing what I'm good at, and then paying someone else for their finished product. It's true that there really isn't a lot to making a custom harness if you're comfortable with wiring/crimping and reading a wiring diagram, but a lot of people are probably better off paying someone else to do it for them; we can't all be "renaissance types".
Point well taken. I forget that this area just seems so easy for me since I'm a technician by trade. But whenever I have a big huge gigantic computer problem I always have to call my big brother to have him tell me how to solve it, and he'll always say something like, "it's so simple(!), why do you bother me with such tiny things(?), just type in this_\\____\____\___ long huge command and go here an enable this, and find this key in the Windows registry, and change it to this____ , and then re-boot, and then go to command prompt and type this, and then change this, and re-boot, hit f8 a bunch of times til alt boot menu shows, enter safe mode, delete this, reboot, hit DEL key while booting, change this_____ to this_____ and then select 'save and exit', reboot and if all that don't work etc, etc, etc then call me back. Did you get all that?".
It's my first retrofit, so I'm being very careful and by this means: slow.
May be I can help you making one extra for you, but I must tell you that you should be patient.
Tell me what you think.
I'm using Bosch relays, 12 gauge cable, ATO fuseholders (heavy duty), and adding a 3 Amps/200 Volts diode between high and low 9007 male connector prongs of the harness, so neither your OEM harness nor your M/F switch need to be modifyed in order to the low beam stay ON while your High beam (bi-xenon solenoid) is ON.
The 9007 male connector is a Sylvania crushed bulb.
