Headlight Question

New member here with a question. I have a 00 Ex. I just bought a pair of 05 headlights and a HID kit for 05 lights. I know this will not plug in b/c i need the harness to convert 9007 to H13. But can i cut the harness on the truck and hid kit ,and wire them together. Will this work?

With two hot leads and one ground there is the potential for a mix-up, but electrically speaking there is no problem with what you are trying to do. Just don't blind me with your HIDs.

Also, welcome to our little gab-fest here.

One thing bout cutting is that it makes it harder to go back when you find the HID's are not focused as well as you like

might consider building a male to female pigtail before cutting

good luck

FWIW, I have HIDs in my 05 and it was a plug and play install. I don't know if they changed stuff from 00 to 05. As for the alignment, it's perfect. I never get oncoming cars flash me. (although a good looking girl flashing me would be OK) :-)
