Firstly here is my story I have a 2004 mazda 3 GT non OEM HID some lady hit my car so i needed new lights and i found some on kijiji i got lights from a 2007 mazda 3 STOCK OEM HID I just want to know what wires are needed to get this setup to work

from reading posts online I ve gathered that I need a Hid balast harness cable of somekind

here is something i found on ebay.. let me know if this is all that i need

or even if its possible to make one of these connectors that would be great

I don't think the headlights will fit an 04.
At least they won't go in without modifications.

I'm in the process of finishing my conversion to oem xenons.

but i have a 2008. This thread should help,

Also check the links to M3F forums. read through the whole thread!

Good luck

EDIT: Hopefully the xenon lights you got already have the ballast and ignitor on them. If not.. well you are looking at another 200 for 2 ballast and ignitors. Plus xenon bulbs.

hey actually after reading i think my situation is quite easy my headlights have the balast and bulbs and ignitor cable inside all i have to do is install the headlamps inside the mazda 3 body and i have two plugs on for the auto leveler 3 pin cable and one 2 pin for the balast..
-i just need the power cable for the balast and a way to go manual i guess for the auto leveler
