I have searched the forum for hours and I am really needing some help from someone who has done this.

I have purchased a HID kit from DDM. I am working on hooking up the low beam inside the light housing area. I have the light in and there are 2 wires to connect inside. One goes to the power (blue wire) and the other is a ground wire (black) I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where the ground should connect inside. There is no seperate ground adapter I can see.

Where does it ground inside the light???

I haven't done a light install either, but i would assume you could just ground it out on the body of the car, like an OEM bolt? I may be mistaken because of the light housing, and you might not have sufficient wire length, but it seemed to be worth a try.

sorry i couldn't help more!! Much luck!

Oh and welcome to the forums!!!

he's looking for a ground inside the light housing, as all the wires are contained inside, so a body ground won't help.

I personally am not sure, just figured I'd help get you going in the right direction.

Good luck.

Thanks I saw this as well, step 6 is where I need the help at. It seems there is another wire for the ground that I just don't have. I have the male end (which is on the HID kit), but it needs a female or another way to ground it... There is one for the Fog, but I cant find one for the Low beam. Just a little frustrating

Step21... I don't see the female for the ground... I am looking at both lights, and the picture I posted is where I am stuck at.

I appreiate the help, but I am still stuck

have you tried calling ddm?

NOt yet, I figured people who have done it may help 1st, considering a bunch of us have Mazda 6's and, well DDM may not.

Ok figured it out. The stock ground in the picture is the brown wire. I guess normally it is connected seperatley from the blue power, but in this case it is attached together. I will be able to splice into the brown wire or get a coupler and connect the black ground on the DDM unit to the metal housing of the light. If anone else experiences this issue, you have your solution
