HID blowing fuses - 4/17/2007 1:09:45 PM    laststop711   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/16/2007 Status: offline So I just picked up an 03 coupe and im pretty new to HID.  I've had some problems in the last few days blowing the stock fuses that run to the ballast on the HID and was just wondering if I was doing anything wrong.  I've read that the HID's must cool down for around 30 seconds when they are turned off before they can be turned back on.  A few times by habit i've turned them on as i've been starting the car and wasn't sure if that was it.  Thanks for the help Jeff _____________________________ 03 Coupe V6 OEM Body Kit HID Lights Smoked Headlights Greddy Catback Post #: 1
