Having trouble with second H.I.D

beastsuzuki · 06-27-2012, 10:52 PM

I installed A relay kit, two bulbs and ballasts. Both top and bottom worked perfectly fine for one day but then the bottom H.i.d just stopped working (doesn't want to turn on). I've change the bottom ballast and light bulb three times cause it keeped burning them out, and it would flicker, then just turn off. But yet the top one has no prob, i have also changed the relay several times.... How can i fix this?????? what could it be????

check the voltage at the power feed to the ballast, i think low voltage causes those to screw up.

what brand is it?

zookie400 · 06-28-2012, 04:32 PM

not the relay, check the voltage right before it goes into the ballast. (connector for the stock headlamp i assume is where the ballast plugs in, would be a good spot to probe)

Wire it in w/o the relay, it's not necessary. Check that your connections are clean and your grounds are good.

Probably just got a bad set...but if they do go out again, just get some good aftermarket replacement (i.e. Garax) that aren't that expensive.
Don't bother buying OEM bulbs again.or Philips Ultinon 6000K!
