I have a grounding wire for my HIDs which I need to increase the length for. How do I do this?
Get a length of wire the same gauge or larger than the original wire. Solder the wire to the old wire and run it to a good ground. If you can't get it soldered a crimp connector will work,but not a good idea under the hood of a car, temporary at best
The best way would be to obtain a piece of wire the same gauge(thickness),and solder the wires together,and use shrink tube to cover the connection.If you don't have access to shrink tube,use a high grade electrical tape.The reason i suggest this as the best choice,is that HIDs are high amperage ,so that is the first choice.The second ,and easier ,is again obtaining the same type wire,and use what is called a butt connector.You strip the ends of the wires,insert them into the butt connector,and crimp the connector.You can usually buy an inexpensive wire stripper-crimper electrical kit that come with connectors at a pep-boys,advance auto or some other auto discount store for under ten dollars.Make sure that the connections are tight and secure.Shrink tube is usually included in these kits,also
Get a roll of cable from a shop like halfords and connect together with connector block. Of just connect the original wire to a metal part of the car close to the light. Just have to scratch a bit paint off for a good connection
