For those of you that have upgraded to HIDs, where did you pull power for the ballasts? Is there power up front somewhere to tap into, or did you have to run a power line from the battery?

That's what I was planning on....just wanted to make sure there wasnt something already there. Not looking forward to gutting this thing again!Its wise to take time in the beginning of modifications, to run an auxillary 8 gauge fused wire from the battery up front to an auxillary fuse block so you can easily add things like lights, whips, hids, all sorts of relay assisted accessories!! Here is an example.....

guilty, lol!You know secretly deep down you love it and want to do it againLOL Have fun. It will be done right and you will enjoy being able to expand!!
If you're talking about factory headlight replacements, you're supposed to plug the ballasts into the factory light harness for power.For those of you that have upgraded to HIDs, where did you pull power for the ballasts?

Yep, but when you have the harness with the relays, there's a plug for the factory harness, then a lead that runs to the positive terminal on the battery. The kit on my first Rhino just used the stock plugs, but my second one, and with this kit, there's the 12v lead as well.If you're talking about factory headlight replacements, you're supposed to plug the ballasts into the factory light harness for power.
I ordered the xentec from ebay 30-35 bucks shipped complete kit lifetime warranty, I removed mine cuz every time i started the maverick it would switch the lights on and off to go to day time start, brp needs to fix the ignition to be day time ignition spot first then turn all the way is night time and lights come on , lolWhat hids did you get Benzo?
Dragon Fire^^^^^ huh?

DDM TuningWhat HID kit are you guys using that plugs into the factory harness? With factory connectors?
Sounds like you bought the wrong kit. Don't waste time with that junk. Buy the plug and play kit on ebay from a reputable (high feedback) vendor and you'll be fine. There's no need for another voltage feed. If existing cabling is good enough for higher draw factory halogen lights it's more than adequate for the HID ballasts.Yep, but when you have the harness with the relays, there's a plug for the factory harness, then a lead that runs to the positive terminal on the battery.

its a good kit....this setup uses the factory plugs to activate the relays and power comes directly from the batt. Not a bad setup really. However, I installed a power distribution block up front for some other stuff so it was an easy install. However, if I was to do it again, I'd go your way...lol. And to top it off, UTV Inc made me a deal on these that was waaaay to good to refuse.Sounds like you bought the wrong kit. Don't waste time with that junk.
