A) h4 connector that is burned
B) one of the bar light plugs that was connected to the burned h4 connector
C) the bar light and where the ballast for the h3 was
D) closer look at ballast
E) close view of altered h3 cover with the wires from the hid h3 connected to ballast
F) h3 cover viewed from further back to give a better idea of where it is
G) no idea. It was hanging there when I removed the h4 hid kit

I did manage to get a look at those pics. It looks like they have wired into the secondary high beam lights which is why they have cut into those covers and have the wires running into the housings there. The burned plug is probably the reason the headlight won't go, will need to replace the plug and hopefully it will work then.

For the secondary high beam lights you should be able to remove the extra wires they put in, put in the correct bulb, plug them in and hopefully it should work. If it doesn't you might need to find an auto electrician and see why you're not getting power at the bulbs.

Hi. Yeah they had hid high beams in there. I took them out and put standard h3 55s in there. The left side works but the side where they plugged the bar light into the 3 pin h4 connector doesn't work. I've ordered the connector on eBay. Hopefully it will all come together.

I've had a look at mine. The main bulb is H4 and the one up top is indeed H3. The ground on the H3 at least gets it from a wire attached to the retainer. So hopefully once you change the burn out plugs you should have lights again. You could dismantle the burnt plug and test for power using a test light while you wait for the new plug to arrive.

Yeah I'll have to go buy one and have a fiddle. Thanks for your help buddy

So

Once the h4 plug is connected you shouldnt need a separate ground. It should ground through the plug. Also cars don't have earth like a few people say. Earth is on buildings.

Sorry Old Mate, I always have called the negative from battery to body and earth strap. Ask any auto elect and the first thing they say is to check the earths.
