HID kit help

So my HID kit FINALLY came today, and I just have a few questions for those who have installed one. It's the H11 4300K from Xenon depot, and it's their new one, so that great writeup bu 4RunnerRon doesn't help me a whole lot.

First, there are 4 sections coming off of the relay harness. One is for ground, one is to connect to the ballast, one connects to the car's harness, and the last looks just like the ground loop, but is a positive lead to the battery. Where does the positive lead to the battery hook on? And the part that is supposed to attach to the harness doesn't fit the headlight harness, so am I missing something, or do I just let it hang and not use it?

Here's a link to their "Installation Directions" if you can even call it that, because it didn't come with any directions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Josh,
If you look at the actual clamp on the positive terminal of the battery you can use the clamping bolt. Just run over to Rat Shack and pick up a simple crimp on connector.

I just installed this kit last weekend. I needed to spread the pins slightly for it to fit the car headlight harness. This needs to be connected b/c it is the signal for the relay to turn on.

Which bolt on the clamp, the top one or the side one? And how do the crimp on connectors work?

So you connected that white plug to the actual headlight harness? Did you do it on both the drivers side and the passenger side?

Where did you attach the end that needs a direct connection to the positive battery terminal?

Yes, but I had to spread the pins with a small screwdriver to get it to fit though. Yes, they have separate relays, so they need separate signals.

I connected it to the battery (in my case I connected it through my auxiliary fusebox, but you can connect it directly b/c it has a fuse built in to the line).

Onto the bolt mentioned above after you remove the tightening nut...

Yes, but if the end of the HID wire is already a metal loop, how does it hook up to the one's that you suggested?? It looks just like the Radio Shack ones you showed me.

Does it have to go next to the nut that is on the tightening bolt, or inside the 2 ends that compress together around the battery terminal?
 
Well I figured out the problem. The kit already had a male connector on the end of it which is what I was trying to explain, but it was just too small. I used an electric file and drilled out the center of it until the loop was large enough to fit over the bolt. It went very fast since it was soft copper. The kit is all installed, and works fine so I just have to wait until it gets dark to see how it looks, and decide if i'm going to lower the beam since my lift.

Thanks anyways.
