Hey guys,
I wanted to change my bulbs to HID, after looking online it seems that most kits won't work because on suzukis the ground switches. Also the kit only has a 2 prong connector while the zook has the 3 prong direct onto the bulb.
Any way around this that anyone has come across?
Cheers

just bought a kit myself (won on ebay for $40 posted!) and it has a plug that just connects directly into the original light bulb plug. no cutting/joining of any wires whatsoever, completely plug and play. factory wiring should be able to handle it no dramas, but i'd done a loom upgrade ages ago anyway. my brothers had the same thing, his was about $200...

You need a h4 kit, if you're having problems you have te wrong kit.
It will be plug and play, and the stock wiring doesn't provide the power, it only swithches the relay.

Thats what I would have expected but this one has a two prong connector... Going to return it as it didn't come with instructions either

I was messing with a HID kit I have in the shed today, and I can confirm it is plug and play assuming you have a H4 kit. The weird light switching Suzuki use doesn't matter- it switches fine.

The bulb shape indicates it is an H4, and according to the listing it is meant to be high/low beam - which I don't understand because you'd think it would need more than two contacts for that.
I'm going to see if I can easily set them up in my spotlights, if not they're getting thrown at the seller

Turns out its just positive and negative so it can't be a high/low setup.
Nevermind, I spent a couple of hours today modifying my spotlights for the bulbs to fit and mounted them. They work well though I may get some clear spotties instead of the stock yellow ones.
