HID problem
 

So im driving home last night and boom,my left hid light goes out.. so i called the person who i baught it from because of warranty or what not,so i had both bulbs replaced and i go to turn them on and they both dont work,so the guy switches ballast and same thing,still dont turn on,so i went on a mission to my job to buy two new headlight relays and a bunch of 20Amp fuses,changed everything and still doesnt fire up.. so just now i put my old halogens in there,and they came on just fine.. am i missing something here.. input please.

RE: HID problem
 

How are you HIDs wired?

Are they Headlight Plug -> Ballast -> Bulb

Or Battery -> Relay -> Ballast -> Bulb?

20A fuses are more than plenty, I have 5A inline fuses for mine and my ballasts are rated for like 7A or something and they don't burn out... you may be frying the ballasts somehow.

Its headlight>balast>bulb..

But the thing is now i notice that when i flick the light to come on it clicks,and i cam here it coming from the fuse box under the hood.

RE: HID problem
 

You relay contacts are probably worn out... that's what's clicking the fuse box.

I read that the HID and or ballast arent getting the right amout of power to operate properly..and i need to install a relay harness kit?

RE: HID problem
 

Possibly... you can make you're own, I did. Basically, with the kit, the ballasts draw their power directly from the battery and not through the switch on the steering column.

Yeah im on my way to my boys shop to pick up the kit right now...I'll be back in a bit dude. Thanks

RE: HID problem

All is good in the under the hood.

Relay was just what i needed...This almost ruined my day.
