Default CCFL Halo & HID Wiring

So I managed to, thanks to Fred/N0AZZ, get one of the last, if not the last uninstalled FST HID kit in existence. These lights did not come with instructions, obviously, so I was only able to figure out the bi-xenon bulbs themselves, there are still extra wires that I have no clue about, and two step-ups for the CCFL halos that I'm a bit puzzled on. Can anyone who's installed one of these kits clear up what the purpose of these components are?

I did a lot of searching but was unable to find anything specific related to the CCFLs or the high beams.

Did he ever give you any sort of instructions with it? Or was it all handled through CF?

As far as I know only on the forum or in PM's to the guys. I know there are some still around that bought these like Andrew said but they come and go.


We may have to bump this for a while to keep it on the top till we find an answer.

Ok so I got the CCFL inverters figured out, you just have to wire them with your own relay and switch or wire them to the daytime running light (DRL) circuit. The only thing left I don't know the purpose of is that second headlight plug that's spliced to run to 2 locations, It's got the same female end as the headlight plug on the car's harness, so that rules out plugging it in to the driver side plug. Also those two wires with a ballast connector and male blade disconnects, not sure what those do. But the main problem with the halos has been figured out. I'd still love to know what those extra wires are for though.
