Been trying all day to source the parts for this....
My Projectors came with the H1 connection and the plug, but no shop in my area has a Female HB4 (9006) socket OR a HB4 Harness kit...
On eBay I might as well just buy the complete H1 to HB4 adapter from Hong Kong...
It is a lot cheaper than buying the parts off eBay separately...Called every single car/auto dealer around my area... No one has the needed harnesses or plug
I guess my only options are to:
1) Splice into OEM wiring
2) Buy a new plug set and redo a whole new plug setup or
3) Buy the Wiring adapter from Hong Kong and use it
I will probably just go with 3), since it is the cheapest and easiest... I just hope the adapter is not going to ruin anything or burn out
If you splice the OEM wiring. Keep the 9005 end. Take it apart and you can can use the connectors to connect to the accent plugs. ;P

I don't know what I am gonna do, don't want to wait for an adapter from Hong Kong, and don't want to splice my wires...

To clarify you WILL need this adapter regardless if you have HID's already or not. I previously had HIDs in the stock housing (yes, shame on me), and just received my projectors. I didn't order this harness based on what I read in this thread. But to confirm, you WILL need this harness. The bulb will have to plug into the car, so an H1 bulb into a 9006 vehicle will not work.
I've also had difficulties finding these plugs locally. Can't seem to find a female 9006 or a female H1 plug, and ofcourse no one is going to stock the adapter harness.
Looks like I won't get these installed this week, unless I go to the wrecker with a shopping list of cars that use and H1 headlight, and a 9006 headlight, and hope that they still have the plugs left.
EDIT: Well, after scrambling around the city to find the parts I needed to build this adapter harness. I realized I didn't need it, as the thread mentioned. I previously had 9006 HID's. I was able to use a combination of the new HID bulb and pigtail, along with a pigtail from my existing 9006 HID bulb, and make it work.
Lesson learned, if you've got HIDs in OEM housing, and upgrade to projectors. Just buy new bulbs and you'll be good to go
