This will be submitted for the Tech Tips section also (or moved there) although be aware that it pertains to a Magnum SRT8. I can not draw conclusions as to whether the initial OEM power connection requirements are the same for the 300 LX models.
I would like to thank Aaron for the opportunity to work out this pictorial with their top-notch HIDs. So here goes...
Installation of 6000K HIDs (9006 equivalent)
from Stealth Auto, Inc.,
into a 2007 Magnum SRT8
The package arrived by FedEx, a box labeled DDM in an over-pack:
Inside the over-pack were: two Capacitor assemblies
Inside the DDM box were:
Generic Instructions (which were basically useless)
Two 35W Ballast assemblies with connected 35W Ignitors
Two HID assemblies with moisture seals and auxiliary power cords
One zip-lock baggie (not shown) with
four foam core double-sided adhesive
pads, (2 green/white, 2 white/yellow)
and misc. small white cable ties
Here's everything layed out...
The Magnum SRT8 Conversion Project, from 55W Halogen bulbs to 35W 6000K HIDs:
Does it take gearhead skill/experience? NO!
Should you read the enclosed instructions? NO! They are useless, and don’t really match the hardware.
The DDM instructions are not Stealth Auto issue.
Should you read these instructions? YES… Of course!!
If I can do it… so can you!!
Getting Started:
Layout the hardware, as in the image above and be sure
that you have everything, and know what each piece is. Throughout this install ensure that you never touch the halogen, or HID bulb glass with your fingers!
Take some time to remove the HIDs from their hard plastic protective enclosures.
Obviously, the bulb’s base will NOT go through the base of the clear plastic. I suppose you could use a pliers and crack/break the plastic piece in two. However, with patience, diligence and a little force you can pull the bulk of the cord assembly the opposite way through the base.
Of course only after I did this, did I discover that for the Magnum you don’t actually need the red/ black power cords with the OEM connectors. So I snipped them off. I suggest you do this first! LOL.
